Paige Spiranac mingles with Olympian during memorable NASCAR outing

Paige Spiranac is going from the tee to the starting line.

The longtime golf influencer had herself a day on Saturday at the Daytona International Speedway for NASCAR’s Coke Zero Sugar 400, where she served as an honorary pace car rider for the Florida event.

Dressed in a midriff-baring black T-shirt that she paired with denim cutoffs and a cowboy hat, Spiranac posed for photos on the hood of a racecar and mingled with American track and field athlete Parker Valby, who recently returned from Paris after making her Olympics debut this summer.

The 31-year-old social media personality also spent time with Frank Kelleher, the president of Daytona International Speedway.

Harrison Burton earned his first career victory Saturday.

It’s been quite the summer for Spiranac, who graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in May.

She was featured alongside several of the brand’s “legends,” including Camille Kostek, Brooks Nader and Winnie Harlow, among others.

“I can’t put into words how special it is to be on the cover this year with so many inspiring women! Honored is an understatement,” Spiranac gushed on Instagram this past spring.

A short time later, Spiranac — who boasts five million social media followers between her Instagram and X pages — announced a new business venture on Passes.com, “which helps creators build meaningful relationships with fans, scale their businesses, and become entrepreneurs,” according to its website.

“As a lot of you know I had my own subscription site OnlyPaige but wanted to add in more features to enhance the user experience,” Spiranac shared on Instagram last month.

“… It’s bigger and better than anything I’ve done before! You have access to never before seen pictures and videos, can speak with me directly in DMs, live streaming anytime/anywhere, and so much more!”

Spiranac, who has attained a loyal audience over the years, recently opened up to Fox Business about the best advice she’s received in fostering her growing empire.

“First, respond back quickly and respond back to everything,” Spiranac said, later adding, “Second, say yes to a lot of different opportunities.”

Although she’s learned that “not everything you say yes to is going to be a success,” it’s absorbing those lessons that matter most.

“I’ve learned more from my failures than I have from my successes. So, being able to fail and learn from it and then grow from that as well,” she said.
