In 2015, Kasey Kahne ran a cool Shark Week paint scheme, and ACTUALLY dove with some sharks. You’d think he’d be afraid but he was not, as people forgot he’d spent the better part of his career running from cougars.

Joey Logano made a brief cameo in 2015’s “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” which was a line from the movie screamed by someone about to be eaten by a shark and not your response when you heard a third “Sharknado” movie was coming.

Joey’s Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski also had a cameo and didn’t fare too well, eventually being consumed by the airborne ocean predator. Incidentally, thanks to Darrell Waltrip’s grasp of meteorology, a tornado filled with sharks is actually the second most absurd weather theory we’ve ever heard.

Great white shark? More like GRAG white shark! That didn’t work at all. Anyways, Noah Gragson videobombed a John Hunter Nemechek interview at Bristol last year while wearing this shark head because he’s Noah and why not. Just lurking back there, much like he does in your daughter’s DMs.

Steve Park ran this scheme in 1999. That’s literally as much as I know. I Googled “NASCAR AND SHARKS” and it came up. All I know is that seeing this in your rearview mirror must have been terrifying.

This is not necessarily shark-related. We just want to remind you that for some NASCAR drivers, it’s the second-most terrifying creature in the ocean.

In 2008, Kenny Wallace drove this car in the XFINITY Series, sponsored by Shark Energy Drink. Because when you think of Kenny Wallace, you think of a guy who really needs an additional source of energy.
