One of the best running backs in the National Football League just put his name in NASCAR.
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is putting his company, The Big Squeezy, on Ryan Vargas’ Team JD Motorsports No. 6 car in this week’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race.
The move comes after Kamara’s trip to the 2021 Daytona 500, in which he live-tweeted throughout the day and provided a bit of entertainment along the way.
Imagine.. 1 lap to go in the #DAYTONA500 .. I been holdin my pee for 199 laps, I can’t hold it no more. I’m in first place. Final stretch I decide to pee a lil and @JeffGordonWeb passes me and wins.. he’s doin donuts and I got fresh hot piss on my jumpsuit. Pissed…

Kamara even waited out the rain delay and changed flights to see the finish.
On Monday, Ryan Vargas tweeted that his team was still looking for a sponsor for this weekend’s race at the Daytona Road Course.
Kamara responded.
I’ll message you shortly!!🙏🏼💪🏼 https://t.co/Ur6OFeFQQV

Just like that, the deal was announced on Monday.
Kamara’s chain of juice stores in Louisiana will be front and center on the No. 6 car this weekend.
“Having the opportunity to work with Alvin Kamara and The Big Squeezy is such a huge honor. As one of the best Running Backs in the game, I know Alvin puts 110% effort into everything he does and that can easily be said for myself and our #6 JD Motorsports Team. I’m excited to be a part of Alvin’s first step into the NASCAR Industry and I believe this is just the start a long, successful partnership!”
