“The same qualities that make a great WWE champion- passion, dedication and commitment- are what NASCAR’s best will need to survive the ROVAL 400. I can’t wait to be there and see all the action, hang out with the fans and find out who’s got what it takes to bring home the win,” Morgan said, as reported by Jayski.
