Did you know ... former NBA star Larry Nance is a big time drag racer??
It's true ... according to his former Cleveland Cavs teammate and NASCAR team owner Brad Daugherty.
Brad -- a former 3-time NBA All Star -- is huge in the racing world ... so we asked if there were any basketball players who had secret driving skills.
That's when Brad brought up 57-year-old Nance -- father of Lakers prodigy Larry Nance Jr. -- who's been a beast in the drag racing world for decades.
"He's a big time drag racer," Daugherty said.
