Whether or not you watch WWE, The Undertaker is a name everyone is quite familiar with. The wrestler, also known as “Deadman” was all the rage at WWE/F’s peak and is still an icon of the series to this day. Fortunately, he was recently inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022. And to celebrate this incredible feat, he came to the NASCAR field at COTA to spend some time on track.
But he gave Kevin Harvick quite the scare.

Former NASCAR driver and two-time Daytona 500 winner, Michael Waltrip interviewed Harvick right before the race, and asked him what how it’s like and what he’s expecting.
And Harvick replied, “I’m just glad it’s not raining Mike, I can see where I’m going”. And he closed it by talking about how happy he is to be at COTA. But the primary shocker came when Waltrip said “I’m supposed to interview him” as he pointed the finger at a Deadman. And the very scared Cup Series Champion warned, “Be careful what you say”.
But of course, it wasn’t just Harvick who The Undertaker managed to scare. In fact, he got Waltrip quite worried too.
The Undertaker thinks he’s an anomaly despite scaring Kevin Harvick
Interestingly though, on the track, there were more people interested in The Undertaker than there were people willing to see Kevin Harvick. Even Waltrip pointed that out!
Waltrip said, “Something that’s really cool- more people want your picture than Kevin Harvick. Everybody was just all hangover you”

To which the WWE legend replied, “I’m an anomaly now, right? You don’t see The Undertaker at NASCAR events,” Well, he isn’t wrong, but it sure was great to see him make a surprise appearance.
But one thing many people might not know about the two-time Daytona 500 winner is that he’s quite large. In fact, he was pretty close to The Deadman in height, and he got curious about whether he could take The Undertaker out. But The WWE Hall of Fame legend knew very well he couldn’t as he replied, “You couldn’t bet half of me with mother half helping you.”
And that was enough to scare Waltrip as he responded, “I will graciously back away.”
