AUSTIN, Texas – The Undertaker, one of the biggest names in the WWE, will descend upon the Circuit of The Americas and will lead the field to the green flag as Honorary Pace Car driver at Sunday’s EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix.

“I am honored to be the Honorary Pace Car driver at the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix in Austin,” said Calaway. “It’s a big week for Texas with WrestleMania in Dallas on April 2 and April 3, and I am excited to kick it off at Circuit of The Americas.”
