I see the former Cavs All Star Center is an analyst for ESPN. For auto racing!!! Anyone know what the deal is or how he's an expert there. He speaks pretty well and was a more accomplished player than some basketball guys at ESPN. I wonder if he prefers auto racing for some reason or if there just isn't an opening for hoops for him right now. Anyone know anything. Just curious, that's all...

I am pretty sure he owns a racing team in some of the lower divisions of auto racing. He is very much involved with auto racing and I really don't think he was ever interested in a basketball opening.

Brad is a Carolina boy who always had a thing for auto racing. His hero growing up was actually Dale Earnhardt. Brad actually wore Earnhardt's number in the NBA.

google is your friend...

His #43 jersey, a number he picked as a tribute to NASCAR legend Richard Petty (who Daugherty lists as his favorite sportsman), was retired by the Cavaliers on March 1, 1997.

Following his retirement from the NBA, Daugherty co-owned a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team (Liberty Racing) featuring such drivers as Kenny Irwin Jr. and Kevin Harvick. In 1997 Irwin won two Craftsman Truck Series races driving for Daugherty (Homestead-Miami Speedway in March and Texas Motor Speedway in June). Daugherty joined ESPN's return to NASCAR racing telecasts in 2007. He is currently an analyst on NASCAR Countdown, ESPN's new pre-race show, and on NASCAR Now, a nightly newscast on the sport.
