In big moments, be it a big goal, a race win, a touchdown, most athletes have their own way of celebrating. Yet very few celebrations end up crossing the line into a completely different sport. This usually happens when the athlete is a superstar. But the wife of NASCAR driver Kyle Larson has proved to be an exception.

Katelyn Larson’s ‘shotgun’ celebration on her husband’s Cup Series title win was one for the ages. And as if it needed any validation on its iconic and viral status, now it seems to have crossed the circuits of NASCAR and made its way into the football fields of the NFL.

Recently, Kansas City Chiefs’ Quarter Back, rookie Noah Grey recreated the shotgun celebration after scoring his first touchdown.

One can assume that the ‘shotgun’ celebration is performed by those who influence their team’s results positively, both directly and indirectly.

In fact, Katelyn Larson has recreated her iconic celebration whenever Kyle Larson has achieved a title or major success.
