Michael Jordan signs with ppc Racing

In a move that Ford Racing executives said will bring "increased interest and diversity to Nascar", ppc Racing announced the signing of basketball great Michael Jordan to their stable of drivers for 2005.
"Mr. Jordan, while possessing no wrote racing experience or skills, has a name which even the most staunch Nascar traditionalists will admit should lead to entitiled success" explained Ford executive Reed Heakin. "Michael succeeded in baseball, he succeeded in Washington with the Wizards, and he'll succeed here."
While it remains unknown how Nascar will accomidate a man of such tall stature, and how he will obtain his Nascar license, ppc Racing owner Greg Pollex apparently hasn't been fazed by the obstacles to come.
"With Michael here, the sponsorship opportunities are endless. We've already lined up Gatorade, Hanes, and Ball Park Franks. We also here that Michael does business with some shoe company, I think its Nike. Maybe we'll give them a call."
Jordan joins a long list of former athletes who've come to Nascar following retirement. However, other athletes, such as Bryant Stith, Jim Kelly, and Brett Favre, joined the sport as owners, not actual drivers. Nascar has welcomed such athletes, though it has barred Jerry Glanville from its events for the next 35 years.
When asked for comment, Michael Jordan responded, "huh?"
