"I can't wait to drive the pace car at Sonoma," said Schwarzenegger. "It will be an honor to lead these fantastic athletes and champions around the raceway, and on top of it, I get to drive a car that is both powerful and green."

This will be the first time Schwarzenegger has served as an Official Pace Car Driver at a Sprint Cup Series race. He'll also be recognized during pre-race ceremonies and greet each driver on stage during driver introductions.
