Stock-car racing and professional wrestlers — this just screams class.

On November 15, Slaughter will serve as the Honorary Race Official for the Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500.

“I plan to take my duties as Honorary Race Official as serious as I did service to my country,” Sergeant Slaughter says in a statement. “I can’t wait to jump in the pace car. I pledge to do my best to make sure that everyone attending the weekend of events has a great time at the beautiful Phoenix International Raceway.”
