Saints running back Alvin Kamara became a fan of NASCAR last year after its announcement to ban the confederate flag at its events.
Now the running back, who signed a massive extension with New Orleans prior to the 2020 season, is partnering with a race team and his company, The Big Squeezy, will be the title sponsor of driver Ryan Vargas’ car at this weekend’s Super Start Batteries 188 at Daytona.
“When this opportunity presented itself, I knew I couldn’t let it slip by,” Kamara said in a statement. “I did a bit of research on Ryan as an individual and JD Motorsports and was impressed with what I read. I’m excited to play a small role in what they already have going on.”
Vargas shared photos of the car on his own social media account.
