This early version of “MotorSport” was previewed by DJ Akademiks in a Twitch stream. It later leaked in full on July 31, 2019.

The song features a slightly different Nicki Minaj verse, with singing and a name-drop of Cardi B. Quavo’s bridge is also sang in a different cadence. Nicki later said on Twitter that the name-drop was removed as per the request of Atlantic Records and the singing was removed as per the request of Quavo.
