Summary

Bubba Wallace will drive a WrestleMania 42-themed car in the NASCAR Food City 500 on April 12 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee.

23XI Racing shared photos of the car on social media ahead of the race. Wallace is one of the drivers entered for the event, and the paint scheme gives WWE added visibility just one week before WrestleMania 42 heads to Las Vegas.

Wallace has already made history in NASCAR, becoming the first Black driver to win a Cup Series race since Wendell Scott in 1963. He was also the first Black driver to win the Brickyard 400 and the first to win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

WrestleMania 42 gets another promotional push

The crossover puts WrestleMania 42 branding in front of a major national sports audience days before WWE's two-night event on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium.

For wrestling fans, the clearest takeaway is that WWE is continuing to push WrestleMania beyond its usual channels as the show gets closer. Using Wallace's car for the Food City 500 gives the event another mainstream promotional tie-in and keeps WrestleMania 42 visible outside wrestling programming.
