The offseason free agency rumors are gaining traction, and many teams are already locking in their preferences ahead of the CBA confirmation. According to reports, the Indiana Fever are desperate to re-sign Kelsey Mitchell, which serves as a reality check for Sophie Cunningham.
But the forward is least bothered about her next destination as she is currently enjoying her offseason and having a blast with multiple public appearances. Recently, she was a pace car driver at the NASCAR race in Phoenix. She even clicked photos with some of the racers.
So, out of curiosity, her podcast co-host, West Wilson, asked whether she found any racers hot.
Sophie Cunningham With Funniest Response To NASRCAR Racers’ Hotness Question
The Indiana Fever star is nearing full fitness and, during her offseason, is attending multiple public and sports events. The NASCAR Cup Series championship race was one such mega event where the 29-year-old was a VIP invitee. As expected, Cunningham shone at the event with her charm and easy-going personality.
While discussing her experience on the ‘Show Me Something’ podcast, Wilson unexpectedly asked her opinion on the NASCAR racers’ hotness. Replying to it, Cunningham said, “Wes, they all come up to my belly button.”

In the pictures shared by her and NASCAR, the 6-foot-1 forward was clearly a half-foot taller than most of the racers. The NASCAR Cup Series Championship winner, Kyle Larson, is 5′ 6″, while the winner of the race in Phoenix, Ryan Blaney, is 5′ 9″.
But she didn’t just meet racers or reporters at the event. The former Missouri star also met actress Sydney Sweeney, who came to the race to promote her upcoming movie.

The player was a special guest at the race, and apart from meeting the media, attending Jordan Davis’ concert, and watching the exciting race, she got the opportunity to share greetings with some of the top celebrities at the event. One of whom was Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney.
“She’s actually so nice,” Cunningham said of Sweeney. “I think she’s a very nice girl. We just talked for like, I’d say, a minute, two minutes, like it was really quick. There were celebrities and VIPs, and so we were all kind of doing our own thing. So it was very quick, like, ‘Hey, how are you? So nice to meet you.'”
