Golden State Warriors forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. hasn’t even been in the NBA for a year yet, but he’s starting to enjoy some of the perks that come with being a regional celebrity. Or at least having fun with the fame.
It was recently announced that Baldwin will spend his Saturday at Sonoma Raceway, where he’ll be the Grand Marshal for the NASCAR Xfinity Series DoorDash 250.
For those unfamiliar with NASCAR, think of the Xfinity Series as the sport’s G League. It’s the second tier NASCAR series, and those who do well in it often find themselves in the Cup Series.
