She joined the Championship Four on stage before speaking to the packed crowd.
“Most days, this checkered flag means victory, but today, it means something more,” she said. “A dream realized, a life changed, a name that will never be forgotten. In my new film ‘Christy,’ I play a warrior. A fighter who refused to quit. ‘Christy’ is about grit, about determination – the same spirit that it takes to make it to the Championship Four.
“So, to our future champion, remember what this flag stands for. You’re not just another driver, you’re a NASCAR champion.”
