On its website, NASCAR explains that Kamara will “work directly with NASCAR leadership on strategic planning and creative opportunities that support its fan development efforts.”

Kamara only recently became a fan of NASCAR. Last June, he publically supported the sport’s decision to ban Confederate flags from its racetracks. In response, NASCAR invited Kamara to attend his first race at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. There, he supported Bubba Wallace.

“It’s an honor to be able to team up with NASCAR and be their first-ever Growth and Engagement Advisor,” Kamara said, according to the website. “I’m excited to use my passion as a fan to help shape their long-term efforts to grow the sport.”

She recently broke down during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians while discussing the relationship: “I just honestly can’t do this anymore,” she said through tears. “Why am I still in this place where I’m stuck for years? He goes and moves to a different state every year. I have to be, like, together so I can raise the kids. I think he deserves someone that can go support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can’t do that. He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can’t.”

Jenner posted her own picture with Scott as well.

“Happy father’s day @travisscott,” she wrote. “One day isn’t enough to honor the dad you are. We are so blessed to have you.”
