‘Earl’ Drives Honorary Pace Car in Fontana
Quote selected text Published September 4th, 2006 in NASCAR NewsJason Lee, star of the NBC sitcom “My Name Is Earl” was the honorary pace car driver, driving ahead of Todd Bodine on the track. Sunday’s race was the first for him.
“Indy, I like a lot, and Formula One,” said Lee. “I’ve seen some races up in Canada. I get to drive the pace car, that’s pretty exciting. That’s the kind of stuff you think about when you’re a kid.”
Ethan Suplee, who plays Lee’s brother Randy on the show, was also in attendance.
“Randy, can you believe we’re actually here? We’re at NASCAR,” Lee said in character.
“What are the odds on Ricky Bobby winning this race?” Suplee replied, also in character, a reference to Will Ferrell’s movie “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.”
