Turns out NASCAR’s best are just like many of us — they like watching the Olympics, too.
From Kyle Busch pulling for U.S. gold medal-winning sprinter Noah Lyles, Chase Elliott eager to watch Olympic golf and Joey Logano shouting out Sha’Carri Richardson, several Cup Series contenders have their eyes on Paris.
And why not, with no racing since the series ran the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 21.
Busch said he couldn’t wait to watch Lyles run and when the American outleaned Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson for gold, the two-time NASCAR champion posted his congratulations.
“Seems this aged well. Great race, @lylesnoah” with a gold-medal emoji, Busch posted on X.
