Fans React to Alvin Kamara’s Love of NASCAR

Many of Gluck’s Twitter followers had a very positive reaction to the news that Alvin Kamara is a NASCAR fan.

“This is awesome! And why not? NASCAR drivers are passionate about other sports and attend football games, baseball & basketball games, hockey too! If you haven’t been to a race you don’t know what you’re missing & its even better without covid restrictions!!” one follower posted.

“We need more athletes like @A_kamara6. Hope he can get on track himself someday and really get the full experience! It helps our sport a ton when these athletes recognize NASCAR as a sport and as something interesting,” another fan said.

“I got a picture with him at Bristol last year and thought his interest would fade, but the guy seems to seriously mean it. As my appreciation of his interest grew… so did my interest in following the Saints season. To me, this is greater than scripted interactions/engagement,” another post said.
