NASCAR driver to have Annika 'goat' logo on Camaro for championship race
The race will take place Nov. 8, just ahead of The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican.
As the LPGA's Race to the CME Globe concludes, Annika Sorenstam will compete in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Gainbridge driver Michael McDowell and Spire Motorsports have designed a special livery for McDowell's No. 71 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, featuring Annika's name, the LPGA logo, and a pelican.
Sorenstam expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership with Gainbridge and Group 1001, stating that it will highlight and elevate women's sports. The race is scheduled for November 8, coinciding with the penultimate LPGA event of 2026. McDowell will don a caddie-inspired bib and golf pants on race day, while also participating in the LPGA's pro-am the following week.
Earlier this year, Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham joined the pro-am as well. The top 60 players in the Race to the CME Globe qualify for the tour championship and a chance at a $4 million prize.
