Dale Earnhardt Jr. will find himself in a very familiar place -- but in a slightly unconventional ride -- at the 2019 Daytona 500.
Earnhardt Jr., a two-time Daytona 500 winner, will drive a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado pace truck to lead the field to green for the 61st running of The Great American Race. This is the first time the Daytona 500 will be paced by a pickup truck.
“I’ve had a lot of fun and a lot of success at Daytona over the years, and now I can’t wait to get out on that track in a Silverado,” said Earnhardt Jr. “Away from the track, I’ve driven Chevy trucks all my life, and I’m excited to have this unique experience of pacing the Daytona 500 with the Silverado.”
