The Rock Honors Commitment, Lights Up Daytona 500 After Rain Delay

The Rock was psyched about taking on Grand Marshal duties at the Daytona 500. Sadly, the race went on a rain delay, but it kicked off on Monday, and The Great One was around to shout those four famous words: drivers start your engines!

The Rock Showed Up For Day Two

While appearing during what should have been the Daytona 500 yesterday, Dwayne Johnson promised to stick around for the actual race after the rain delay. The People’s Champion showed up, as promised, and he put on quite a show.

The Rock assumed the role of official Grand Marshal at the iconic Daytona Beach race recently, bringing his signature People’s Champion flair to the NASCAR event.

In a video shared on NASCAR’s official Instagram account, The Great One was warmly welcomed by racing enthusiasts attending the Daytona 500. Taking the microphone, he ignited the race with his trademark WWE catchphrases, infusing the event with his characteristic energy and charisma.

What’s Next

The Rock will be a part of the road to WrestleMania as a heel. He delivered a scathing heel promo on SmackDown last week, one where he joined The Bloodline. Now, it appears that the stage if being set for a tag team match instead of the one vs one match that Johnson wanted with Roman Reigns.

SE Scoops will have more on this story as additional information is made available. The Road to WrestleMania is still heating up, and that will certainly include The Rock this time around.
