Kay Adams turned her first NASCAR race in San Diego into a blunt online moment after a photo showed part of one of her feet. The 40-year-old answered with a line that matched the subject she has already discussed before: feet.
“Posting feet should be punishable by fire-squad,” she wrote after Cole Cusumano posted the picture from the Anduril 250. Adams did not shrug it off, and the response landed because the photo put the exact thing she has said draws unwanted attention back in public view.
Cusumano’s race photo
Cusumano was covering the race when he posted the image. The picture was ordinary on its face, but part of one foot was visible, and that was enough to draw Adams straight into the exchange.
Adams had already addressed the foot obsession before. In 2022, she told Interview Magazine, “It’s fine to be into feet,” and added, “There’s people that you and I both know that are really into feet.” She also said, “I mean, if 'Up & Adams' doesn’t work out, I might become a foot model,” before finishing, “People make bank.”
Adams and foot attention
That earlier talk is why this photo drew more than a simple joke. Adams said in 2023 that she gets a lot of DMs from men who want photos of her feet, so the reaction to Cusumano’s post tracked with a pattern she has described publicly rather than a one-off gripe.
The race itself gave the post its setting. Adams was at her first NASCAR race over the weekend in San Diego, and the photo tied the event to the same topic she has brought up in interviews and online reaction before.
San Diego weekend reaction
For readers following Adams, the takeaway is straightforward: she noticed the photo, she did not like what it showed, and she answered in the same voice she has used when the subject comes up. The foot chatter did not stay in the background once the image went live.
The question left hanging is the platform. The source identifies the post only as a social media photo, not the exact service where it appeared.
