On Saturday, former Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kannan will drive a car with Taylor Swift's face on it in the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix.
The special paint job is to honor Swift's stop in Detroit for her 1989 world tour that night. Plus, TSwift is really good at winning things, so her likeness painted on a vehicle can only help.
