Overview
- At Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 2, Sweeney addressed the Championship Four on stage and raised the checkered flag before the NASCAR Cup Series finale.
- Her remarks tied racing’s grit to Christy, her Christy Martin biopic opening Nov. 7 following its Toronto International Film Festival premiere.
- She met drivers including Ryan Blaney, aligning the appearance with her documented motorsports interest from prior stock-car laps and car restoration projects.
- Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, serving as honorary pace car driver, posted a photo with Sweeney that drew wide attention for its cheeky caption.
- Cunningham later said on her podcast the exchange with Sweeney was a brief minute or two during VIP rotations, as she continues MCL rehab this offseason.
