WrestleMania 42 themed car set for NASCAR race this weekend
The presence of WWE WrestleMania 42 will be seen on the track at this weekend’s NASCAR event.
Revealed by the 23XI Racing team on Thursday, Bubba Wallace will drive the themed car at Sunday’s Food City 500 in Bristol, Tennessee. The team is co-owned by retired NBA megastar Michael Jordan.
WWE has had a history with NASCAR with Daytona 500 winner Tyler Reddick, also a 23XI Racing team member, appearing at a February Raw. Kevin Owens made a fill-in appearance for Rey Mysterio last year at an event and before that, WWE sponsored a SummerSlam-themed car in 2022.
In early-March, NASCAR and WWE offered a joint ticket package for both WrestleMania 42 and the Pennzoil 400 from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
