Alvin Kamara Set To Join Forces With NASCAR Team

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is dipping his toes into the NASCAR game. Kamara took interest in NASCAR during last season, and now he’ll have a chance to sponsor a driver.

Kamara has partnered with JD Motorsports with Gary Keller, and they’ll sponsor the No. 6 car driven by Ryan Vargas of the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

The Big Squeezy, Kamara’s chain of juice bars in Louisiana will be represented on Vargas’s car on Saturday for the Super Start Batteries 188 at Daytona Presented by O’Reilly. The race will take place on Daytona’s road course. Kamara will be a sponsor for this one race, and then he’ll decide if he wants to get involved with NASCAR for the long term. Check out how the car is set to look on Saturday.

“When this opportunity presented itself, I knew I couldn’t let it slip by,” Kamara said in a team release. “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.”
