Jordan Sponsors Team

Former NBA star Michael Jordan, sponsor of AMA roadracer Montez Stewart through his Jumpman23.com brand, was a special guest at Jason Pridmore’s STAR Motorcycle School on the Gingerman Raceway road course in South Haven, Mich., last weekend.
Jordan, in a trackside interview aired on SPEED Channel’s 2 Wheel Tuesday, talked about riding motorcycles as a child, his desire to improve as a rider and his future as a team owner in the AMA.
“I came in this year in an experimental stage, just to see how people would respond,” Jordan explained to SPEED Channel. “Now, I am hooked. Next year, I am looking to expand the team, looking to compete – I want to win. I really want to make a statement about my support of this sport. … I want to make a solid commitment through Montez and whoever else I want to sponsor. I want to be involved in this. I think it’s fun and I think it’s a great opportunity for corporations. … Every time I go to the race, I have a ball, so I look to be around for awhile.”
