Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce is a man of many talents.
The former NFL star competed in two Super Bowls, released Christmas songs with Boyz II Men and Patti LaBelle, and co-hosts an award-winning podcast with his brother Travis, who happens to be engaged to Taylor Swift.
On Saturday, the retired Super Bowl champion entered the world of NASCAR, too.
Kelce joined Hendricks Motorsports as a pit crew member at Talladega Superspeedway during the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race.
Chris Gollon of Above the Yellow Line Media recorded a snippet of Kelce in action. The former All-Pro center was handing off a gas can and also assisting the pit crew for driver Corey Day. He looked fluid in both regards.
Kelce's NASCAR crew debut wound up being fruitful, as Day also recorded his first career win.
Following his milestone victory at Talladega Superspeedway, Day credited his Hendrick Motorsports team for building the "rocketship" he raced in.
"I sure as h*** didn't think it would be at the [Talladega] Superspeedway," Day also said of his first career win. "My 17 guys just built me a rocketship... Hats off to everyone back at the shop who builds these things for me. It's super cool."
Several NFL Stars Have Made NASCAR Leap
Jason Kelce has yet to confirm if his NASCAR venture was a one-off experience or a step towards something more permanent. Should he be drawn to the fast life of racing, he could join a group of other retired football standouts who transitioned into NASCAR.
Marshall McFadden, a former linebacker with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Oakland Raiders, and St.? Louis Rams, joined NA?SCAR as a jackman ?after finishing his? career with ?the C?FL's Toronto Arg?onauts in 2016. ?
