NFL Superstar Patrick Mahomes Will Have His Face Plastered All Over A NASCAR Race Car This Weekend
How can we tell when someone has made it?
For Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, his resume is quite stacked. On the field, the stats speak for themselves. After putting together a performance good enough to take home MVP for the 2019 NFL season, that resume is quickly expanding.
Once a player reaches this kind of star power, the money can become absurd. For example, for an athlete like Marshawn Lynch, he says that it was enough that he didn’t even have to touch his actual salary for the duration of his career. Furthermore, he wasn’t even the biggest star in the league! These days, Patrick Mahomes certainly is!
Just to name a few, Oakley, Hunt’s Ketchup, Essentia Water, and local grocery stores have been willing to shell out money on the MVP. Recently, we see that the quarterback has managed to transcend the NFL. This weekend, we will see his face plastered on the hood of a NASCAR stock car.
In collaboration with Donruss football, Mahomes will be on the hood of the number 08 Chevrolet. Gray Gaulding will be racing the car in the Xfinity Series. Just wait, though, it gets better!
After the race, those looking to throw some money around will be able to add some MVP memorabilia to their collection. The hood will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, after it’s done with this weekend’s race use, of course. In fact, we might argue that the piece might just be the ultimate collectible!
NFL MVP @PatrickMahomes will be riding along with @graygaulding this weekend in Bristol!

Mahomes even had a little bit of fun with the reveal of the car. Along with the video we see below, Mahomes quoted Ricky Bobby. As we’re sure is his mentality on the field, he got in on the fun by letting us know “If you ain’t first, you’re last.”
We just have to let you know that’s not true, Patrick. You could be second, third, heck, you could even be fourth.
“If You Ain’t First You’re Last.” S/o to @graygaulding for wrapping the #08 car with me & @paniniamerica fam. We’ll be auctioning off this hood for @15andMahomies. #donruss pic.twitter.com/tF2KIoaJww
