Atlanta Braves legend and World Series Champion Chipper Jones will give the command to start engines for this summer’s NASCAR Cup Series race at EchoPark Speedway.

Jones has been notably a NASCAR follower in recent years, offering some thoughts on X occasionally, and also being part of the Speedway Classic a season ago at Bristol Motor Speedway.

“As a fan of NASCAR and the exciting racing EchoPark Speedway consistently offers, I can’t wait to kick off Atlanta’s Night Race,” said Jones.
