Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, one of the greatest WWE athletes and a bonified Hollywood Superstar, is set to be the grand marshal at the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season opener Daytona 500. The race was initially scheduled for Sunday, but NASCAR was forced to postpone It due to heavy weather. Rock, being the champion he is, announced that he will remain in Florida till Monday to give the start of the command of your engine.

The Rock has played both baby faces and heel Characters in WWE. His portrayal of Hollywood Rock in 2003 exemplifies how well he understands the heel role. During the press conference at the Daytona International Speedway ahead of the main event, The Rock advised Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, who is now the villain of NASCAR.

Hamlin, who owns the 23XI Racing team with Michael Jordan, was advised by The Rock not only to embrace the role as NASCAR heel but also to understand that he now has the opportunity to do and say things his rivals only dream of. He urged NASCAR and rest to let heels like him and Hamlin speak and receive the boos.

My advice to Denny Hamlin is to not only embrace it, but he also gets the opportunity to say and do a lot of things [other] people can’t. A lot of people wish they can, but they don’t. So, you don’t have to. Let me and Denny do the talking and get the boos.
The Rock said.                                                                                                         

The Rock hilariously revealed he is saying till Monday to give the command

Johnson, who grew up in Florida, has never seen the Daytona 500 in his life. Hence, he was excited about the Grand Marshel duty and was determined to cherish every moment of the experience.

I came all the way from Hawaii, my friends – so I ain’t leaving Daytona until I give the command.
The Rock wrote.

It wouldn’t be the first time the former WWE champion is given the command. He has done the same previously in 2004 at Texas Motor Speedway. The Rock is leaving a good impression among the race fans with his dedication to the role of Grand Marshell.
