At least that’s how it went Sunday for Connor Zilisch at the Anduril 250 in San Diego. The race was held at the Naval Base Coronado, and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce apparently had part of his bachelor party there.

Kelce was at the race with his brother, Jason, and Scott Swift, the father of Taylor Swift. If rumors are true, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are expected to tie the knot in a matter of weeks.

While talking to his crew chief about tires, Zilisch mentioned that he had spotted Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“I saw Patrick Mahomes standing on one of the suite trailers; that was pretty funny,” Zilisch said.

Zilisch was told: “Jason Kelce is up on the ship to your right here. Yeah, I think both the Kelce brothers are here.”

“I know I saw Patrick,” Zilisch said. “He’s over on, like, the trailers over by Turn 15.”
