CONCORD, N.C. – Charlotte Motor Speedway is set to host its two biggest races of the year, and the facility will do so with flair, literally.
Eight-time WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair – a native of Charlotte, N.C. – will take on honorary pace car driver duties for the Coca-Cola 600 on May 26.
The WWE royalty will lead a field of NASCAR stars, including Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and more, before the green flag drops on the iconic event.
Flair has won more women’s titles than any superstar in WWE history and is the daughter of 16-time world champion Ric Flair. Flair also became the first female superstar in WWE history to main event a singles match on Raw, SmackDown Live and a pay-per-view.
FOX will carry the Coca-Cola 600. Additionally, FOX will become the new broadcast home for WWE SmackDown LIVE starting Friday, Oct. 4.
FOX Sports 1 will also be the new home of a Tuesday-night WWE studio show, which will cover all the happenings in the WWE universe.
