Sophie Cunningham at Gateway might be the most random NASCAR crossover of the year.
You’ve got 36 Cup cars beating and banging around a flat-mile track.
Crew chiefs are sweating every restart.
Drivers are fighting for playoff points.
And then there’s Sophie Cunningham just casually taking in the chaos.
Gateway is already one of NASCAR’s most intense tracks.
Add Sophie to the garage and suddenly everybody has something else to talk about.
Forget the playoff standings for five minutes.
The No. 1 story in St. Louis is apparently Sophie Cunningham discovering NASCAR.
Honestly, I’m not complaining.
Gateway just got a whole lot more interesting.
