It’s a common tale that NASCAR drivers often have a soft spot for other sports, with the NFL frequently topping the list. But it’s not just a one-way street. Other sports, and the stars within them, hold NASCAR in high regard too. A shining example of this mutual admiration came to light recently when a WWE superstar was spotted rocking Dale Earnhardt Jr‘s legendary No. 8 jacket.

On a recent episode of ‘Zelvx and Charlie Girl‘, there was a bit of a surprise in store for racing fans. While Dakota Kai and Zelina Vega were chatting about their New Year’s resolutions, Kai was seen sporting a classic Dale Earnhardt Inc. Budweiser #8 NASCAR jacket. It was a cool nod to the racing world, showing that the influence of NASCAR icons like Dale Earnhardt Jr stretches far beyond the racetrack and into other arenas of sports entertainment.
