"I'm excited to be making my return to PIR and the Advocare 500 NASCAR race. My first experience in the pace car was one of the coolest and most unique opportunities I have ever had. To feel even a sliver of the adrenaline that these drivers experience was so awesome and I can't wait to do it again."
