HAMPTON, Ga. (June 25, 2026) – “America’s Crew Chief” Larry McReynolds will lead the NASCAR Cup Series field to the green flag at the Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart on Sunday night, July 12.
Known as an elite crew chief before establishing himself as an iconic NASCAR broadcaster and analyst, McReynolds has enjoyed success in both roles at EchoPark Speedway. He visited victory lane with Ernie Irvan as the winning crew chief in the spring of 1994, and his voice has helped tell the story of numerous iconic NASCAR moments at the Hampton, Ga. Speedway. On Sunday night, July 12, McReynolds will add another memorable moment when he leads the field in the Chevrolet Corvette pace car.
“EchoPark Speedway stands out as one of the most exciting tracks we visit in NASCAR, and that’s only amplified by the night racing atmosphere the Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart brings,” said McReynolds. “I’m honored to hop behind the wheel of the pace car to help kick off 400 miles of thrilling action as the Honorary Pace Car Driver, and to do it at a track that I was able to win at just adds to how special this opportunity is for me!”
