WWE Superstar and former strongman Adam Scherr, aka Braun Strowman, will serve as the honorary pace car driver for the upcoming Toyota/Save Mart 350 NASCAR Cup Series race on June 11. Known not only for his strength but also his larger-than-life persona, Strowman will bring his charisma, athleticism and showmanship to a new arena as he enters the high-octane world of NASCAR.
Strowman, known for being one of the most formidable competitors to enter a WWE ring, dominated the sport for over eight years. He won his first world title at WrestleMania 36 in 2020 and often went toe-to-toe with some of the biggest names in the WWE Universe.
Not content to just stay in the ring, Strowman appeared in the Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly film “Holmes & Watson” in 2018 and has served as a brand ambassador for companies including Polaris and Universal Technical Institute. He has also flexed his business acumen as co-founder of Crusher Nuts, and partnership with Anarchy Bats, honoring his legendary softball player father.
On June 11, he will buckle into a new role as he leads the field of 36 drivers through the pace laps to the green flag of the Toyota/Save Mart 350 after being recognized on the pre-race stage.
