Larry Fitzgerald was honorary pace car driver for the NASCAR Cup Series championship race on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway.
Arizonans are used to seeing Larry Fitzgerald torch defenders on the football field, but today he led a much fiercer and faster pack.
“I’m elated,” Fitzgerald said. “This is my fourth time coming out to , but never at the capacity I’m at now. You’re able to have kind of a behind-the-scenes seeing what’s going on to make this race so special. It’s really unique and I’m excited to be here.”, who has had a great working relationship with the Cardinals legend through his various non-profit events across the Valley.
Back in 2020, Fitzgerald became a minority owner of the Phoenix Suns, which raised questions about the 17-year Cardinals wide receiver potentially seeking an entrepreneurial venture in NASCAR. With fellow NFL alum like Emmitt Smith and Alvin Kamara assuming the roles of team co-owner and growth engagement advisor, respectively, within the sport, the interest is there, but don’t expect an immediate move.
NASCAR held a moment of silence before the start of the Sunday's race, in which JGR’s Christopher Bell was racing for the title.
