WNBA rookie star Caitlin Clark's picture will be on the hood of IndyCar drive Josh Berry's No. 4 Ford for this week's Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The rookie driver took his Stewart-Haas Racing entry the traditional 2.5-mile oval with an image of the WNBA's rookie star plastered across the hood of his car.
Speedway officials had hoped to get the top overall pick in the WNBA draft to the facility for May's Indianapolis 500 festivities, but theSo Panini, one of Berry's sponsors, did something neither NASCAR nor IndyCar officials could -- helping make Clark the face of race weekend. An image of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark will appear on the hood of Stewart-Haas Racing rookie Josh Berry's car for this weekend's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "Obviously, starting our partnership with Panini has been really cool, they have a huge presence in NASCAR and in sports in general," Berry said before Friday's practice session.
"The amount of attention the car has gotten this week through social media and everything's been really cool and I'm sure it'll continue to build through the weekend," said Berry, who was 13th on the speed chart Friday with a fast lap of 180."Hopefully, we can have a good race and make them all proud."
