Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian is hitting all the right notes in all the right places. After leading his team to a conference victory and a CFP appearance, he recently had his contract extended to $10.3 million through 2030. And that’s not all. The 50-year-old stole the spotlight at NASCAR COTA’s fourth year of hosting the prestigious Cup Series.

Steve Sarkisian joins a star-studded lineup in Austin with race car driver Ryan Blaney and actor Giancarlo Esposito. NASCAR shared a photo of the three public figures on social media, showcasing their respect and appreciation for the legends.

In a proud moment for the Texas nation, Longhorns HC Steve Sarkisian set the signal at the NASCAR COTA RACE. A proud wife, wardrobe stylist Loreal Sarkisian couldn’t help but celebrate the honor with a video clip of her husband waving the green flag for the race cars. She posted on her IG story, “@steve.sarkisian waved the green flag to start the race.”

After leading Texas college football for three seasons, with the last season ending in a Big 12 Conference title, Steve Sarkisian is known more than his adventure off of the football field. On Sunday, he served as the honorary starter for the NASCAR Cup Series Circuit of The America race. The venue was located in Austin, Texas, in the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. This is an incredibly honorable gesture and a big break from the Texas spring football practice session.

Steve Sarkisian is pleased with the Longhorns spring practice

Beginning on Tuesday, the Longhorns kicked off their spring football training, and according to Sarkisian, it looks like the success and unity from last season’s achievements followed them into this season’s practice. The team’s performance last season reaped consistent praise from their HC on their versatility, and even this year seems to be starting on a good note. He said of their first practice, “This was a pretty good first day. It was pretty evident that the energy was really good out there at practice.”

Sarkisian also discussed what to expect from the Longhorns this season: “Just as a team in general, I don’t think we’re going to be a one-dimensional team that’s going to have to rely on one phase of the game to be overly dominant. I’d love for all these phases to be that.” Texas is set to kick off its Orange–White Spring Game on April 20.
