A special WWE-themed racecar is set to hit the track as part of WrestleMania 42 weekend promotion.

The NASCAR Food City 500 takes place on April 12 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, and driver Bubba Wallace will be part of the field. Wallace, who made history as the first Black driver to win a Cup Series race since Wendell Scott in 1963, will be driving a custom WWE WrestleMania 42-themed car for the event.

Footage of the WrestleMania 42-branded vehicle were shared on social media by 23XI Racing, the NASCAR team co-owned by six-time NBA Champion Michael Jordan. The car features WWE branding tied to WrestleMania 42, further connecting WWE’s biggest event of the year with major sports cross-promotion.

What do you think about WWE partnering with NASCAR for a WrestleMania-themed racecar—does this kind of crossover help build more excitement for WrestleMania weekend?
