Travis Kelce's Swift Delivery finishes strong as Lil Wayne stuns track with wild winning streak
Travis Kelce and Lil Wayne are famous for football and rap. But this week, both became winners in a sport most fans didn't expect — horse racing. It wasn't a game or a concert that brought them into the spotlight.
Something very different happened. And no, it's not about Taylor Swift either. On two separate tracks, in two different countries, both Travis Kelce and Lil Wayne celebrated major wins with their horses. Here's what really went down — and how both stars ended up surprising fans in the most unexpected way.
Travis Kelce's Horse Swift Delivery wins in Canada
On Saturday, June 22, 2025, Travis Kelce's horse named Swift Delivery won a big race at the Woodbine Racetrack in Ontario, Canada.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, who is 35 years old and a three-time Super Bowl winner, became a proud owner of the winning horse alongside Team Valor International.
Travis Kelce had bought a share in Swift Delivery back in August 2024. The horse is four years old, bred in Kentucky, and already had the name before Travis Kelce joined the team — so it's just a funny coincidence that it matches his girlfriend Taylor Swift's last name.
Travis Kelce had first shown interest in owning a racehorse after attending the Kentucky Derby in 2024. On his New Heights podcast, he told his brother Jason Kelce,
'I had one of the best times ever at the Derby… It would be so fun to be part of a race.'
Swift Delivery has now won three career races, and this win made Kelce's dream a reality.
Lil Wayne's Horses win back-to-back races in California
Just two days before Travis Kelce's horse won, rapper Lil Wayne, 42, had a huge moment in Los Alamitos, California.
On Thursday, June 20, 2025, his horse Sixhoofsevenhoof won its second career race.
The next day, on Friday, June 21, his other horse Punto Forty won its very first race in a maiden special weight category. Sixhoofsevenhoof was named after Lil Wayne's hit song 6 Foot 7 Foot and was bred in New York.
With two wins in two days, Lil Wayne is quickly making a name for himself in the horse racing world too.

Travis Kelce - Taylor Swift: A look at Kansas City Chiefs tight end's dating history and former girlfriends
Travis Kelce's romantic history includes Maya Benberry from his reality show 'Catching Kelce,' followed by a longer relationship with Kayla Nicole, which ended amidst infidelity rumors. Briefly linked to Zuri Hall, Kelce is now dating Taylor Swift, a pairing that has captured widespread attention. The couple's relationship, beginning in late 2023, has sparked engagement speculation and fan excitement. Taylor Swift has been dating the NFL star Travis Kelce — and fans are gushing and swooning over the couple since the billionaire girlfriend ended up at the game to cheer her boyfriend. While the lights shone all over the stadium, the twinkle in the couple's eyes hinted that the relationship was going to be special in many ways. The 35-year-old singer is known for her prolific songwriting – ranging from lyrics about a high school crush to a prophecy about her despair, channeling the emotions that one might not be able to express. Before a showgirl invited Kelce into her life, he had a couple of public relationships. Let's take a look at the loverboy, Travis Kelce, and his WAGs! Maya Benberry Before Travis Kelce used to publicly declare his dating interests through podcasts, he had a TV reality show. On 'Catching Kelce,' 50 women competed against each other to date the Kansas City Chiefs star in 2016. While he had his doubts, Kelce chose Maya Benberry from Kentucky. I love your confidence, but, at times, it does get overconfident,' Kelce said to her at the time, according to the US Sun, before adding, 'It kind of shows arrogance. I have been attracted to women like that my entire life, and those relationships didn't work because of that.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally Undo After dating a couple of months, they split up for unknown reasons, according to Page Six. Kayla Nicole Kelce started flirting with the sports broadcaster and model, Kayla Nicole, just a year after the berry's sour phase. The 35-year-old revealed in a 2022 E! News interview that he followed her on Instagram, liked the pictures as she posted them, and viewed the stories regularly. 'I was just stalking her, and then finally on New Year's, she gave in. And, you know, New Year, new me. She just shot her shot, jumped in my DMs, and the rest is history,' he recalled. However, they split up in 2020, only to get back together for a couple of months before calling it quits for good in 2022. During the time, there were multiple rumours about Kelce being unfaithful to her, and him splitting every bill in half, which were denounced by Nicole herself. Zuri Hall In October 2022, a photo of Zuri Hall sitting next to the Kelce family during the game went viral on social media. However, fans noticed that the former couple had unfollowed each other on social media, who once had clicked the follow button when the dating rumors persisted. However, the speculations have neither been confirmed nor denied. Taylor Swift As an electric lightning bolt, the news of Taylor Swift at the stadium hit the stands in a second, where every reaction of Kelce, his family, his teammates, and his fans was captured. While the eyebrows were raised for the unlikely match, the couple were soon hailed for their goals. She recently announced her 12th studio album on his podcast 'New Heights,' which fans think that the clips contain many easter eggs. The couple has been going strong since the latter half of 2023 and has made quite a few engagement rumors as well.

Kyle Busch firmly declines NASCAR vegan challenge despite top pit stall incentive
Kyle Busch firmly declines NASCAR vegan challenge despite top pit stall incentive (Image via Getty) In 2018, NASCAR offered a unique challenge to its Cup Series drivers. The governing body promised the best pit stall, also called the number one pit stall, to any driver willing to follow a vegan diet for one month. During that season, Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion from Las Vegas, was asked about this unusual offer in Jeff Gluck's famous '12 Questions' interview. Even with such a big racing advantage on the table, Kyle Busch clearly said he would not give up his diet for this deal. Kyle Busch said 'No' to switching diets during NASCAR's 2018 season The moment came during Jeff Gluck's sit-down interview in 2018, when he asked Kyle Busch if he would change his diet plans for the number one pit stall. Busch, who was driving full-time in the Cup Series then, gave a sharp answer. He said, 'If it was for more than one week.' When Jeff Gluck pushed him further, asking if he would do it even for a single race weekend, Kyle Busch quickly responded, 'No. No, no. I haven't won enough poles in my career that I think that's mattered, where I've ever won a race because I had the No. 1 pit box. So, no, I wouldn't swap.' At the time of that interview, the Las Vegas-born driver had already built a successful Cup career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Readers says this maybe the best Cable TV Communications | Search Ad Search Now Undo As of today, Kyle Busch has recorded 63 career wins, 253 top-five finishes, and 389 top-10 finishes in 739 Cup Series starts. He also has 33 pole positions. Away from the Cup Series, he has been dominant in the Xfinity Series with 102 career wins, 267 top-10s, and 70 poles. This shows Busch has never been fully reliant on pit stall placement for wins, and his refusal to go vegan made clear how strongly he values sticking to his normal lifestyle.

In June 2025, before the EchoPark race, Busch spoke with Frontstretch Media about the schedule changes. He said NASCAR's decision to add different tracks to the Cup Series is good for attracting fresh fans. Busch explained, 'I think the schedule having variation is really cool. I think that's great. It gives you a little more diversity within your fan base in the areas of the country that you can go races.' He pointed to new ideas like racing in Mexico, returning to Chicagoland Speedway, or even adding San Diego. Busch believes mixing classic tracks with new venues brings in new supporters while keeping long-time fans engaged. So far in the 2025 season, Kyle Busch has 25 starts with seven top-10 and two top-five finishes. He currently sits 16th in the Cup Series points standings with 537 points but is still searching for his first win of the year to guarantee a spot in the playoffs.
