Lately, there has been a lot of NFL involvement in the world of NASCAR racing. From Alvin Kamara to Antonio Williams, the NFL interest has been increasing. Now, NASCAR part-time Cup driver Kaz Grala dropped a message to try and entice NFL superstar Tom Brady.
Apparently, Brady kick-started the conversation on Twitter. When the NFL season concluded, Brady asked fans to brainstorm ideas on what to do in the off-season. Some fans suggested that he sponsor Grala for a couple of races, and the Xfinity drivr jumped at the chance to try and convince him.
Grala said, “I think you [Tom Brady] should join the NASCAR family. We’ve got Michael Jordan now, coach Joe Gibbs, even Pitbull. What we’re missing right now is a 7-time champion. Why should you sponsor me? I’ve been successful running in all three series in NASCAR.”
How else did Grala try to convince Tom Brady?
Kaz Grala also insisted that he is a first-generation American who is trying to live his family’s dreams. Life is also going well for him, as well as for Tom Brady. From there, Grala openly beseeched Brady to contact him and even gave his number. So far, Brady has yet to respond, but his presence could be a massive boon for the NASCAR community.
On a different note, Kaz Grala is splitting time between the Cup and Truck Series. It is also worth mentioning that he ended up in 8th place at the Daytona road course Truck Race. However, his Cup Series Daytona 500 stint was quite lacklustre. Nevertheless, the 22-year-old is still fairly young and has plenty of time to grow.
Meanwhile, Tom Brady will be looking forward to the new NFL season. He will be playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneer in his second season for the team. Brady had a dream start to his Bucs career that culminated in a seventh Super Bowl win.
