Actor and former California Governor will pilot 2016 Toyota Mirai
Leading the field to green for the Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, June 28 will be actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The actor, whose new film "Terminator Genisys" comes out July 1, will be piloting a 2016 Toyota Mirai while leading the 43-car field at the road course.
The Toyota Mirai is a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle that emits only water from its exhaust. This is not only Schwarzenegger's first time as a official pace car driver, but it will be the first hydrogen fuel vehicle used as a pace car at Sonoma.
"I can't wait to drive the pace car at Sonoma," Schwarzenegger said in a press release. "It will be an honor to lead these fantastic athletes and champions around the raceway, and on top of it, I get to drive a car that is both powerful and green."
During the former governor's time in office, Schwarzenegger established California's Hydrogen Highway -- the nation's first network for hydrogen fueling stations.
