Perhaps golf goddess Paige Spiranac can add auto racing influencer to her resume. That's because Spiranac scooted along the NASCAR track this past weekend in Dayton Beach, Fla.
No, seriously.
"Spiranac was at Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero Sugar 400. She was named the honorary pace car rider and event official for the race," wrote Ryan Gados of Fox News Digital. "American Olympians Bobby Finke and Parker Valby were also with Spiranac. Finke was named the official starter."

Spiranac is more than just a model. She's become perhaps the biggest influencer in any sport anywhere. As for NASCAR, she called her experience over the weekend "incredible" in her Instagram post about the event.
"I am emotional because that was one of the coolest things I've ever done," she said in a video. "To hear the cars as they come flying by me right now. ... Oh my god!"

As for golf, Spiranac does more than pose. She also shows off her skills and occasionally offers tips and advice. She has even made slow-motion golf videos wildly popular. At least, those that feature her.
"More slow motion is never a bad thing," she wrote in the post.

Spiranac also recently ignited the Internet with a post of her hitting out of a sand trap. Yes, Spiranac can do something as simple as hit out of a sand trap and still delight her fans.
"Just playing in the sand," she captioned that post.
Not surprisingly, that too went viral.
"As you can see, there's a lot more going on than simply playing in the sand. Paige knows this, and she also knows that not everybody is a fan of what she's done for the game of golf," wrote Sean Joseph of Outkick. "There are haters for absolutely everything. But the 31-year-old doesn't let those losers keep her from growing the game in her own way. She often fires back and when they came at her for breaking down the art of hitting a golf ball with big boobs, she had an answer for them."
