Interesting comments from Dana White on the Flagrant podcast: “I’m flying to NASCAR and we’re doing a deal with NASCAR. We’re going to be the electric series for NASCAR. Yeah, we’re working on that deal right now.”
As the UFC’s head honcho, White’s involvement in this venture adds an unexpected twist. His passion for fighting and his knack for making deals have led him to explore new horizons beyond the octagon. The idea of electric cars racing around oval tracks and road courses is undoubtedly intriguing, especially considering NASCAR’s rich history in traditional combustion-engine racing.
While we await further updates, it’s clear that White’s vision extends beyond the cage. Whether this collaboration materializes into a full-fledged electric racing series remains to be seen, but it’s a fascinating development for both UFC and NASCAR fans alike.
Former UFC star on NASCAR
In 2014, Miesha Tate found herself clinking Budweiser bottles with UFC fighter Donald Cerrone during a press conference. Little did she know that this casual moment would lead to a significant career move. Tate and Cerrone became part of the same management team—KHI Management Inc., owned by none other than NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick.
Tate’s association with KHI opened doors to exciting sponsorships. Besides Budweiser, she secured deals with Core24, E-Z-GO, and Pro.Fit. Her popularity as a UFC fighter, coupled with her crossover appeal, made her an ideal addition to the organization.
Harvick, known for his strategic thinking, recognized Tate’s potential. He believed she could bring something unique to the table. As the first female client under KHI, Tate’s blue-chip sponsors elevated her profile. From the octagon to the racetrack, she’s making her mark.
