Larry Fedora to Drive Pace Car for STP 500 at Martinsville

Posted Mar 4, 2014
UNC football coach Larry Fedora became a NASCAR fan watching the sport on television. He fell head-over-heels in love with it during a trip to Martinsville Speedway last spring. “Last year at Martinsville was my first short-track race and it was phenomenal,” said Fedora. Fedora will be in the middle of all the Martinsville action as the honorary pace car driver for the STP 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race on March 30. (Martinsville Speedway)
