A little over a month ago, Sam Mayer notched a big achievement. The 22-year-old driver broke off Connor Zilisch\u2019s invincible streak, defending his crown at Iowa Speedway. After taking control following a lap 221 restart, he led all the way to clinch the first-ever victory for Haas Factory Team. This elevated HFT\u2019s status as a young team that came into existence barely a year ago. Now, Mayer is taking the team\u2019s fame to greater heights \u2013 in a crossover.<\/p>\n
While Sam Mayer prepares for the highly anticipated Xfinity Series championship, he is dabbling in off-track pursuits as well. Mayer\u2019s 3rd-place finish in Bristol marked his 13th top-five finish of the year. So, Mayer can comfortably devote time to some funny exchanges with a WWE athlete.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSam Mayer turns a myth into reality<\/p>\n
WWE NXT TV has hosted a unique face since last summer. That is none other than Joe Hendry, the Scottish wrestler who won the British Senior National Championships in both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. Presently, he is a darling in WWE, being a big part of the TNA-WWE partnership. Fans on American soil are getting to know him for an iconic dialogue. \u201cSay his name, and he appears.\u201d So the legend goes that if you say Hendry\u2019s name, he will be there for you. And NASCAR Xfinity Series star Sam Mayer wanted to test this saying \u2013 and was flabbergasted by the result.<\/p>\n
In a video posted by The CW on X, a group of WWE stars, featuring Andre Chase and Kale Dixon, huddled together talking about an unlikely topic. Chase said, \u201cSo today I brought in two guys who know a little bit about going fast while keeping it under control.\u201d And then, Sam Mayer and Cole Custer appeared on the screen \u2013 but mind you, Custer\u2019s face is invisible inside his helmet. Then we heard Mayer professing his love for Joe Hendry. He said, \u201cDude, I\u2019m a huge fan, I love this, it\u2019s awesome, so honored to be here. And I loved that whole deal where you say his name like he just appears. That was awesome,\u201d Yet Mayer held his doubts: \u201cBut I have to ask you, is it real?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A little over a month ago, Sam Mayer notched a big achievement.
