There were extra eyeballs on the No. 17 Hendrick Motorsports pit box at Talladega Superspeedway. Assisting the pit crew throughout the race, was none other than Super Bowl LII champion and retired football star Jason Kelce. He was seen handing off fuel cans, working the pit sign, and even catching tires during the race.
And in the end, it was that same No. 17 going to Victory Lane at Corey Day secured his first career win in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series. Kelce was among those running out to the start/finish line to congratulate Day as he climbed from the car.
In the post-race press conference, Day revealed that Kelce joined the team for pit stop practice in the weeks leading up to Talladega, trying out the position of jack man, tire changer, and fueler. Day called him his "good luck charm" and hopes to see him at some more races in the future.
