Caitlin Clark-mania is officially spilling over into other, big time sports.
The WNBA phenom and all-time leading scorer in women’s college basketball is now going to be the face of one of NASCAR’s biggest stars.
Stewart-Haas racing has partnered with Panini America to have Clark featured on Josh Berry’s car this weekend at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis.
Berry is the rookie-of-the-year points leader in the NASCAR Cup Series and is 21st in the overall Cup Series standings this year
“Every race car driver wants to compete at Indy. It’s hallowed ground that all of us treat with a tremendous amount of respect,” Berry said in a news release. “To be there with Panini and promote its new Caitlin Clark Collection just adds to the prestige of racing in the Brickyard 400. Indy is a great sports town, and it’s an honor to have Caitlin Clark as a part of our effort.”

Clark continues to shine a broader light — and interest — in the WNBA with a wider fanbase. In addition to her accolades on the court, Clark has inked major endorsement deals with Nike, StateFarm Insurance, Gatorade, and sporting goods brand Wilson.
