Reggie Jackson to drive Sprint Cup pace car.
From http://www.autoclubspeedway.com/Articles/2009/02/Reggie-Jackson.aspx:
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. (February 17, 2009) - Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, who earned the nickname Mr. October for his World Series heroics with both the A's and Yankees, will be behind the wheel of the Auto Club Speedway's 2009 Chevy Impala pace car as he leads the field before the start of NASCAR's 2009 West Coast Premiere - the Auto Club 500 - on Feb. 22."In my lifetime I've played in six World Series, hob-knobbed with movie stars and been a part of the excitement of New York and the Yankees," said Jackson. "With all that, it's hard to get excited over many things. But being behind the wheel of the pace car for the Auto Club 500, is right up there with some of the most exciting things I've ever done."
I can't help but recall his cameo in "The Naked Gun" and hope this isn't part of some assassination plot.
