Just like a bunch of NASCAR drivers geeks out over NFL games [as we all saw during the off-season], it turns out the love goes both ways. Big shots from other sports have been catching the NASCAR bug too. Take Michael Jordan, for example. The guy’s not just a basketball legend; he’s put his money where his mouth is in the racing world. And guess what?

There’s a fresh buzz in town, and it’s coming from the golf greens. Paige Spiranac, who’s a big deal in golf circles, looks like she’s dipping her toes into NASCAR waters. Her latest chirp about the Daytona 500 has folks thinking she’s getting revved up about the sport.

Is Paige Spiranac on a professional agenda to make some collaboration attempts in NASCAR?

The dazzling blonde recently stirred the pot on Twitter, hinting she’s got an eye on the world of stock car racing. Maybe she’s thinking of blending her love for the camera with the roar of the engines. Her tweet was a shout-out for NASCAR fan tips. She wrote, “I’m trying to get more into NASCAR so tell me who I should be rooting for?!”

Some folks reckon Spiranac might be shifting gears from golf to a racier scene that could add some extra sparkle to her career. Or given her track record with a slew of endorsements and a legion of followers, dabbling in a NASCAR collab might just be another feather in her cap—no biggie if she pulls it off. But it’s not her maiden voyage into the world of revs and races. Paige Spiranac once hit up Miami to get the lowdown on race cars, with Dylan LeBeau giving her the grand tour, right down to the nitty-gritty of moving in and out of the car from a window just like NASCAR drivers.

Posting the same, when Paige Spiranac teased her fans with “Do you want to see more (NASCAR Content)?” on Instagram, the crowd went wild with a resounding ‘yes’. But the intriguing question is, was it all just a warm-up and a build-up for Daytona, or is she cooking up something grander?

Not to mention, Spiranac isn’t just about golf; she’s dabbled in baseball too, throwing the first pitch at a Brewers vs. Yankees game and stepping up as the face of X-Golf. Clearly, her influence stretches far and wide.

And even though Spiranac kept mum about her NASCAR favorites post that initial tweet, it’s clear her fascination with the sport isn’t a flash in the pan. Last year, she hinted at a possible NASCAR collaboration before the Homestead-Miami showdown. So, what’s the play here? Is Paige Spiranac eyeing a new partnership on the fast track?

Even a bit of rain couldn’t dampen her spirits. Paige Spiranac kept the chat going with her followers, giving them a sneak peek at the NASCAR beasts and the kaleidoscope of sponsor logos splashed across them. “OK, so NASCAR is known for their sponsors and a lot of them. But I want to hear from you guys. What would your dream sponsor be? There’s some M&M on this car, and I think that might do it.”

So, how about it? A mash-up between the greens of golf and the roar of NASCAR tracks—could it be a match made in heaven?
