Kelsey Plum is certainly not letting her personal life affect her from having a good time.
Over the weekend, Sonoma Raceway hosted the 14th race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the Las Vegas Aces superstar was in attendance as a special guest to promote her partnership with Zip USA.
Kelsey Plum ended up stealing the show as she showed up rocking a white miniskirt and black tank top.
Many fans jumped in the comment section and brought up Darren Waller in response to her looking so good:
Kelsey Plum brought the looks and the energy as she delivered an electric command to kick things off in California.

Former New York Giants tight end Darren Waller was the husband of WNBA player and two-time champion Kelsey Plum of the Las Vegas Aces until they suddenly separated when they both announced they had filed for divorce.
Plum and Waller got married in March 2023.
Plum took to social media to show how heartbroken she was with the way things ended.
“I’m devastated,” Plum wrote on social media. “I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go. God has given me such an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends. One day I’ll share my story, today is not that day.”
Plum was the first overall pick of the 2017 WNBA draft and has won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and two WNBA Championships.
Waller made the Pro Bowl in 2020 while playing with the Raiders and has since retired from football after playing one season with the Giants.
REPORT: Surprising New Candidate Has Suddenly Emerged Out Of Nowhere For The Los Angeles Lakers Head Coaching Job

More bad news for JJ Redick, as after Dan Hurley, another college basketball phenom, Jay Wright, entered the chat to vie for the vacant Los Angeles Lakers HC job. Since the firing of Darvin Ham following the Lakers’ first-round exit, Redick led the race to land the job, but within a space of 72 hours, he is now drifting far from it.
Jay Wright, the 2-time NCAA championship-winning coach, has emerged as a “stealth candidate” for the coveted job. As per Marc Stein, the former Villanova HC has an outside chance to land the job if the Lakers decide to move away from Hurley due to his commitment to UConn. “I had been warned early on by one well-placed insider, for what it’s worth, to stay ready in case former Villanova coach Jay Wright emerged as a stealth candidate,” the NBA insider said.
After finishing his 21-year stint with Villanova, Wright left the coaching role in 2022. Since then, he has been linked with several high-profile jobs in the NBA, but this is the most recent about him. If Dan Hurley remains with the Huskies after delivering back-to-back NCAA championships, Wright could be a viable option for the Lakers.
With Hurley setting a deadline for his Lakers decision, it’s a guessing game around the vacant seat.
