Paige Spiranac could be set to switch from being a professional golfer to following NASCAR racing after the blonde model’s tweet from the Daytona 500 indicates a budding love for motorsport.
Spiranac attempted to qualify for the Ladies Professional Golf Association in 2016 but fractionally missed the grade and as a result switched to helping developing players refine their techniques, mainly focusing on the green and putting.
And she also created a nice side gig as a model and influencer on social media as she attempted to raise body positivity for women whilst combatting sexist attitudes simultaneously. Whilst her modelling career has seen her earn countless endorsements and millions of fans.
But now the blonde bombshell might be moving away from that as she took to X.com, formerly Twitter, to declare an interest in stock car racing which is also a sport where she could take her modelling passion to also.
“I’m trying to get more into NASCAR,” Spiranac posted on the Elon Musk-owned platform. “So tell me who I should be rooting for?!”
It’s not her first interested in motorsport. She previously appeared in Miami to gain some first hand experience of the vehicles with Dylan LeBeau showing her the ropes of his career and regular job, including how to climb in and out of the car.
She then posted online to Instagram to ask her fans if they would like to see more NASCAR content, and based on her Daytona 500 tweet, the answer was yes.
Spiranac has previously taken an interest in baseball too, appearing at an MLB game to throw the first pitch for the Milwaukee Brewers against the New York Yankees in 2022 and then a second time as an ambassador for X-Golf.
Byron wins Daytona 500
In the 2024 Daytona 500, William Byron clinched victory under caution after a late-race wreck involving Ross Chastain and Austin Cindric as the white flag (final lap) waved.
Byron seized the lead from Chastain just before the incident, which was a massive 22-car crash, triggered by Byron’s contact with Brad Keselowski, throwing the order of the field into chaos.
Alex Bowman, Byron’s teammate, finished second, while Christopher Bell secured third. The chaotic race saw contenders like Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, and Martin Truex Jr. caught in the mayhem.
Byron‘s triumph marked a dramatic finish amidst intense competition and unpredictable twists at the iconic Daytona International Speedway, in what was the first time he has ever won the event.
