After the Rock, Kevin Harvick Is Confident NASCAR Can Pull Taylor Swift to a Race

Two days have already passed since the conclusion of the Ambetter Health 400 race in Atlanta. But people do not seem to be recovering from the fever of that epic showdown. On Sunday, fans of NASCAR, or rather the entire motorsport community, got goosebumps when they witnessed the arguably best race in NASCAR history. Kevin Harvick was there, and he also agreed.

Daniel Suarez, Ryan Blaney, and Kyle Busch pulled off a photo finish and spun off a whirlwind of reactions on social media. Several memes and comparisons popped up, including one involving pop star Taylor Swift. Although the singer is barely connected to NASCAR, Kevin Harvick is hinting at a possible Swift-NASCAR collab.

Kevin Harvick wants a Swiftie wave to wash over a NASCAR race

A week before Atlanta, some hotshot performing artists were set to grace the Daytona 500 race. But as fate would have it, rains washed over the Florida beach and postponed the legendary race. Pitbull and DJ Khaled canceled their Daytona plans. But The Rock was not going to give up so easily.

Dwayne Johnson showed up with incredible gusto to perform his duty as the Grand Marshal. Right before the race was flagged off, he bellowed these words, “In the proud spirit of America and in the proud spirit of our great country, FINALLY, The Rock says, drivers, start your engines.”

Now, speculation is afoot regarding Taylor Swift after Kevin Harvick spoke of pulling the pop singer to a race. In a recent Fox interview, co-host Mamba Smith spoke of a meme connecting Swift’s reaction at the Superbowl game and the Atlanta finish.

Kevin Harvick spelled out his own views: “You never know, Tay Tay might show up.” This spun off a round of giggles among the hosts. “I know, Piper calls it Tay Tay.” 

Prior to the NFL game, Kevin Harvick’s daughter Piper was enthusiastic about her pick. She chose the Kansas City Chiefs over the San Francisco 49ers, all for one good reason. “Cuz Taylor Swift likes the Chiefs and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s on there!”

Host Mamba was tickled by Harvick’s mention of ‘Tay Tay,’: “It’s cute when you say that!” Harvick said, “Look, I’m a girl dad, so.” Then Mamba asked him to spell it out. “I mean really, however you want. Her name is tee-ay, so I would just assume tee-ay.”

Taylor Swift may not be intimately connected with NASCAR, but she has played a part in the racing series before.

Swift’s ongoing billion-dollar Eras tour is a hot topic in the pop world right now. Her stardom has skyrocketed only recently, explaining the soaring popularity of the NFL game she attended. But once upon a time, when she was a teenage singer, Swift was a part of a NASCAR race.

In the 2006 Checker Auto Parts 500 presented by Pennzoil, a 16-year-old Swift sang the national anthem. Contested in November, it was the 35th of 36 races in 2006, held at Phoenix International Raceway. 

In the future, Travis Kelce may be the honorary starter for next year’s spring race at Kansas Speedway. If this turns into reality, then Kevin Harvick’s prediction will see the light of day with ‘Tay-Tay’ showing up at a NASCAR race.
