Amidst the intensity of the playoffs, NASCAR nation witnessed a wholesome moment when Trackhouse Racing co-owner, Armando Christian Perez aka Pitbull showed up in Homestead for the 4Ever 400. Perez who is a Miami resident just couldn’t leave out the opportunity to catch the Stock Car Racing extravaganza and watch his cars go bonkers on the mile-and-a-half track.

Despite both Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez meeting their matches, the thought of his drivers getting knocked out of the tournament did not even cross the rapper’s mind when he was sharing a moment with the commentary crew of Burton and Dale Jr. Instead, the 42-year-old music sensation elevated the mood with his fruity attitude, getting the analysts for a quirky round.

Extending his gratitude, thanking the fans for supporting the sport and him in his musical ventures, he said, “I feel that Trackhouse and NASCAR together, man, it’s amazing what we’ve been able to do and that’s what like I said, we’re making history. So thanks to all the fans out there I say it all the time because it’s the truth without y’all there’s no Pitbull and definitely no Trackhouse, thank you.”
