I tried, I know he is from Arizona
Had to do quite a bit of digging to confirm he is of no relation to Shane and Dale. You are correct. I figured it was a son or nephew of theirs or maybe a cousin. Seems Nascar tends to be a generational thing. Most high level racing to be honest. Lots of great drivers at small tracks all.over the nation. Most will never get a shot at the next level due to lack of funding. If you have a family connection it really opens doors.

Michael Jordan throws the family connection out the window. It is funding 100%. I am guessing nascar recruited him to do this and that was a smart move to create different t viewers for the future generations. But it isn't a family name thing, it is a financial thing. I'm sure you see that in your little circuit. Just like I'm sure many of the best drivers in the world never even know it because they couldn't afford that first car. Or maybe they could but that was it.

Michael started with Superbikes. He loved the road racing motorcycles. Not sure how it evolved from there but he obviously got into Nascar too. Lol
