The Rock Keeps Fingers Crossed for Sunshine at Daytona 500 Despite Rain Threats

The Rock has become a prime fixture for WWE television programming yet again for the road to WrestleMania 40. Yet, he is still pursuing his other duties including appearance at the Daytona 500 race.

The Great One was earlier announced to be the Grand Marshall for the iconic race pitting some of the best drivers against each other on the race track.

The Rock took to his Instagram where he was spotted arriving in Daytona Beach in his pick-up truck for the race a day prior. However, The Rock did mention that it was raining heavily and hoped for the weather to clear for a safe track to conduct the race.

“Gettin’ into some midnight tequila trouble in Daytona Beach baby!! 😈🥃

(actually, heading to the gym because I can’t sleep;)

I’m pumped to pull Grand Marshall duties for tomorrow’s iconic DAYTONA 500 – a super cool honor for me and I can’t wait ✊🏾🏁🏎️

Hoping our weather clears up for a safe track and awesome race for the boys.

Completely SOLD OUT – over 100,000 STRONG! 👏🏾🥃

LFG!!”

As mentioned, the 10-time WWE champion will be an integral part of this year’s WrestleMania in Philadelphia. The Rock finds himself aligned with his cousin, Roman Reigns with both Samoans embroiled in a heated rivalry with the People’s Hero, Cody Rhodes.

This week on SmackDown, The Brahma Bull officially inducted himself into The Bloodline faction and vowed to make sure Cody walked out of WrestleMania a loser without finishing his story.
