Tennis influencer Rachel Stuhlmann posted a couple of photos to social media on Friday that showed her love for another sport. She is evidently ready for the Indianapolis 500, where an NBA star will drive the pace car, making for an incredible crossover.
Stuhlmann, 31, is a Missouri-native, growing up just a state away from Indiana, so it's possible she has been a fan of racing for quite a while now.
Some media outlets, however, have suggested that Indy 500 organizers could be paying Stuhlmann to display her love for the race.
The self-proclaimed no. 1 tennis influencer added a quirky caption along with each photo, plus a few racing emojis. She showed off her checkered bra with leather pants.
"If you're not first, you're last! Shake and bake baby," Stuhlmann wrote.
Tyrese Haliburton to drive pace car
Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is set to drive the pace car on Sunday, just one of several celebrities involved in the festivities.
Haliburton, 23, will lead the field to green at the 107th Indy 500, and he already performed a test drive.
Other celebrities involved include: Angela Brown to sing "God Bless America," Jewel to perform the national anthem and actress Stephanie Beatriz will be the grand marshall.
No celebrity, however, will be more celebrated than Adam Driver, famous for his role as Kylo Ren in Star Wars. He is tasked with the most important part of the race, getting started.
