Call it the first official rivalry of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, even though it has nothing to do with anything on track.
Kyle Busch and Kasey Kahne are devout fans of the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, respectively. But while Kahne is from Enumclaw, Wash. and thus grew up a huge Seahawks fan, Busch has a Broncos allegiance despite not growing up in the Mile High City.
Anyway, with the two teams off to Super Bowl XLVIII at the Meadowlands next week, Kahne and Busch have a wager on the line for the winner.
Nearly identical tweets from the pair followed…

I can’t wait to see @KyleBusch walking around Daytona Speedweeks in his @DangeRussWilson 3 jersey after the @Seahawks win the #SuperBowl 👍😬
