Monster Jam and NASCAR.
Two things this writer grew up on – are coming together in a long overdue mashup this weekend at the Nashville Superspeedway.
Stewart-Haas Racing announced publicly on Wednesday that Monster Jam brand Grave Digger would be on the side of the SHR No. 4 car piloted by Kevin Harvick on Sunday.
They attributed the idea to a Father’s Day gift for Kevin from his son, Keelan.

Stewart-Haas hyped the announcement all week, doing things like teasing the iconic red lights stationed on the front end of the iconic Grave Digger truck.
