Jason Kelce, the star center of the Philadelphia Eagles, has been a key factor in the team’s 2-0 start this season. He has been helping hotshot quarterback Jalen Hurts shine on the field with his leadership, communication, and blocking skills. But off the field, Jason has another passion: cars.

Jason recently revealed that he owns a 1970 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck, which he bought from a friend in college. The 2018 Super Bowl winner said that the truck has a lot of sentimental value for him, but also a lot of problems. He said that he wants to modify his truck and make it more reliable and eco-friendly. And he knows just the person who can help him with that, two-time Super Bowl winner and his brother Travis Kelce.

“It’s a beautiful truck, man. It’s got a lot of character. It’s got a lot of rust. It’s got a lot of dents. It’s got a lot of leaks. It’s got a lot of issues,” Jason said with a laugh on the podcast New Heights. “But I love it, man. It’s been with me through thick and thin.”

Travis Kelce, the star tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, is not only a football superstar but also a car enthusiast. He owns a philanthropic venture; Ignition lab. Here, kids 14 to 18 age transform classic cars into electric vehicles using batteries, motors, and other parts from Tesla and other electric car companies. This helps them get real-world experience in the fields of automotive and engineering. They have converted several cars, including a 1969 Ford Mustang, a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, and a 1985 DeLorean.

Jason and Travis discussed their love for cars and their plans for Jason’s truck on their podcast New Heights, where they talk about various topics every week. 33-year-old, younger brother agreed that his car lab would be a perfect place for Jason’s truck.

It’s usually the older brothers who never fail to bring up the younger ones’ mistakes. In the Kelce household contrary to the norm, Travis makes sure to remind him of Super Bowl LVII in almost all their podcast episodes. It’s the game where the Chiefs beat the Eagles 34-31 in a historic matchup against his brother. Travis also scored a touchdown in that game.
