Sergio Romo spent his Major League career coming out of the bullpen, but on Sunday at

Sonoma Raceway, he will get to be a starter.

Romo, a three-time World Series Champion for the San Francisco Giants, will lead the NASCAR

Cup Series field as the official Pace Car Driver for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 (12:30 p.m. PT TV:

FOX, Radio: PRN and Sirius XM).

Romo was one of baseball’s most feared relievers from 2008-2016 as he often came out of the

bullpen to lock down opposing offenses during close games with his patented side-sweeping

slider. Most notably, he was credited with capturing the final out of the 2012 World Series in

which the Giants claimed their second championship title in three seasons.

"We couldn’t be more excited to welcome San Francisco Giants star Sergio Romo to wheel the

pace car for the Toyota/Save Mart 350,” said Brian Flynn, executive vice president and general

manager of Sonoma Raceway. “Being a fixture in Bay Area sports culture, Sergio’s exuberant

presence will surely rev up the race crowd.”

Romo will be joined by Impractical Jokers star James “Murr” Murray as race dignitaries. Murray

will serve as grand marshal of Sunday’s event as NASCAR’s stars tackle the 10-turn road course

in the heart of wine country.
