“I’ve Got Too Many Friends” – $50 Million Worth NFL Legend Refuses to Answer Chase Elliott, Joey Logano, Ross Chastain, Christopher Bell Question

November 6 marked the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at the Phoenix Raceway. The Race saw 36 racers take part, but only 4 were eligible for the championship. This was based on how the season panned out. This monumental race also marked NASCAR honoring former Arizona Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald played for the Cardinals for 17 seasons and was their top wide receiver. He recorded over 17,000 receiving yards and over 120 touchdowns during his run with the Cardinals. NASCAR invited the 39-year-old to drive the pace car for their Cup Series Championship event. 

Larry Fitzgerald honored

Phoenix made the perfect platform to honor the Arizona player as he served the Arizona sports fraternity for nearly two decades. Julie Giese, then President of the Pheonix Raceway, also spoke of Fitzgerald’s longing impact on the Phoenix community.

“His amazing accomplishments with the Arizona Cardinals are surpassed by the leadership and devotion he’s shown to our community and our world as a philanthropist and entrepreneur. We’re honored to have a man of his stature join us for our season final,” she said.

The NFL great has accumulated significant wealth from his time with the Cardinals. The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation benefits from a good percentage of these earnings. His foundation caters to youth education and breast cancer awareness.
