“Everyone Had a Foot Fetish”- SVG Exposes the Creepiest Aspect of Historic NASCAR Debut Week

NASCAR isn’t just another feather in the cap of motor racing; it’s a tapestry rich in tales of grit, gumption, and the drive to dominate. More often than not, fans are served a hearty dish of thrilling finishes, chess-like strategic moves, and an indomitable spirit that refuses to be tamed. But every once in a blue moon, a nugget of gold emerges from the pit lane. Enter SVG, the Kiwi racing star.

In a candid chinwag on the Skewcar show, SVG waxed lyrical about his Chicago victory lap, addressing the ripple effect it created in his stardom pool. Beyond the limelight, he shed light on the nitty-gritty of maneuvering between V8 Supercars and NASCAR’s distinct dance moves. But the icing on the cake? An offhand reveal by SVG that had everyone in splits.

Pedal pushers or foot fanatics? The NASCAR narrative no one saw coming

In a heart-to-heart, Aric Almirola cast his mind back to the good old days with his erstwhile partner-in-crime, Marcus Ambrose. He was seen taking a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about adventures both in and out of the racing cockpit. Before anyone knew it, the chat zeroed in on a specific drill at Watkins Glen, where Almirola tried his hand (or foot) at emulating Ambrose’s signature right-foot braking dance move. But he found himself up a creek without a paddle. With eyebrows raised and curiosity at its peak, the spotlight then turned to SVG, pondering if this unique footwork had roots in the V8 Supercars’ Aussie soil.

With a twinkle in his eye, SVG lifted the veil on the “rock for breaking” technique, explaining it’s more than just a Down Under quirk—it’s all about the V8 Supercars’ rear-end game. They dial up the rear brakes, needing the clutch into play to soften the engine braking. And while this footsy play might not be the bread and butter of NASCAR, for SVG, old habits die hard.

But the icing on the cake was SVG’s revelation, which had many chuckling. “Everyone had a foot fetish that week. It was a bit weird; so many people were talking about my feet,” he jestingly remarked.

While the rubber met the road in the world of racing in Chicago, this foot-centric chatter threw a humorous curveball. After SVG’s victory lap, the nimble dance of his feet—just another day at the office for him—became the talk of the town, adding a touch of levity to the high-octane NASCAR scene.

Not stopping at that, SVG also spilled the beans on the hero’s welcome he received after his maiden NASCAR Cup Series win.

SVG went on to share how he received a red-carpet welcome upon touching down in his homeland after his Chicago race victory. Evidently, not just the petrolheads but even those on the fringes were all ears about his NASCAR endeavors.

It seems accolades came pouring in for SVG from every nook and cranny. “It was crazy,” he reminisced about the whirlwind of reactions. “The people who reached out that watched the race, even people who don’t really watch racing or hadn’t heard about for a few years—just the reception was unreal.” Clearly, SVG’s NASCAR stint had bridged the gap and attracted more than just die-hard racing aficionados.

For SVG, the meteoric rise to the limelight was unparalleled. He candidly expressed that in his illustrious racing journey, “I’ve never experienced such coverage from just racing.”

This wave of unexpected adulation from his fellow countrymen not only spotlighted his prowess behind the wheel but also underscored the universal charm of an underdog triumphing on foreign soil. Now, with bated breath, NASCAR enthusiasts are keenly awaiting SVG’s next dance on the Roval circuit, ready to debunk naysayers who hint at his unfamiliarity potentially holding him back.
