This year, Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan co-founded 23XI racing, with Bubba Wallace as their driver. However, Hamlin is still driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, so every week he competes against the team he co-owns.
Dale Earnhardt did a similar thing from 1998-2000, driving for Richard Childress Racing while owning Dale Earnhardt Incorporated.
So, are there any other examples of this occurring? Proper full time seasons, not one offs like Derrike Cope driving for Rick Ware Racing at this years Daytona 500 even though he part owns StarCom Racing.
