With the off-season going on in full swing, NASCAR fans and the community have nothing to do but bide time until they reach February. Meantime, the social media team is trying to keep them entertained with tales from the past along with the storyline that emerged at the NASCAR Awards in Charlotte. However, no one expected a crossover between them and hip-hop sensation Kendrick Lamar.
The 17-time Grammy Award winner recently announced an update about his tour via social media. “grand national tour @cashapp visa card presale tomorrow at 10am.” The timing of this tour is interesting, to say the least as he dropped his new studio album named GNX. Interestingly, the “Grand National Tour” is what the NASCAR Cup Series competition was called between 1950 and 1970. From there onwards, the premier stock car series started attracting title sponsors like Winston, Nextel, and Monster.
NASCAR was quick to draw the connection and let him know that they were the original title holders of his tour’s name. “Sorry, @kendricklamar, but we’re the original Grand National Tour. 😏” Well, a lot of young audiences are fans of K Dot, and they were surprised to see NASCAR trying to become relevant in the popular culture.
