LEBANON, Tenn. – Country music sensation Luke Combs, known for his multi-platinum albums and numerous awards, will take on a new role this Sunday as the honorary pace car driver for the Ally 400 NASCAR Cup Series at Nashville Superspeedway. Combs, a two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year, will drive the official 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse pace car in front of an audience that includes fans from 48 states and 19 foreign countries.
Matt Greci, General Manager for Nashville Superspeedway, remarked, “A show with this much horsepower deserves plenty of star power too. We’re going to give Luke a fast car and see if he’s fast enough to drive away from the field of NASCAR’s best as we kick off Sunday’s showdown.”
