First, musician and "The Voice" judge Adam Levine showed up at a Ferrari event there in April, now it's actor Luke Wilson's turn as the honorary pace car driver for next weekend's Toyota/Save Mart 350
Sprint Cup race.
The "Legally Blonde" and "Old School" actor, who is starring in the new Showtime series "Roadies," will drive the Toyota Camry pace car prior to the green flag of the race on Sunday, June 26.
"I feel incredibly honored to be asked to lead the field of cars to the green," said Wilson in a press release. "I have never done anything like this before and I'm really excited to start off the race at the Toyota/Save Mart 350."
Wilson will also be recognized during pre-race ceremonies and greet each NASCAR driver on stage during introductions.
Also honored during the race weekend will be retiring Sonoma State University president Ruben Armiñana, who has been named grand marshal of the event.
