Tré Cool will be leading the field of IndyCar drivers to the green flag at the start of Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach this Sunday, April 19.
"Cool joins a long list of celebrated INDYCAR Fastest Seat in Sports passengers as he leads the field to the green flag in a custom INDYCAR SERIES car with a special back passenger seat. This high-speed, high-octane, super-charged thrill ride has been taken by the likes of Tom Brady, Simu Liu, Jon Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga, Channing Tatum and Rudy Pankow."

Meyer Shank Racing will also feature a special livery for the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda. Felix Rosenqvist will be driving a car decked out with Green Day's Idiot Nation branding for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.

This is all to help promote the launch of the new SiriusXM channel, Idiot Nation, which is officially starting up on April 20. The car features a mix of Acura and SiriusXM logos along with the Idiot Nation name across the front and side.


"With Green Day featured on the No. 60 Honda, Meyer Shank Racing brings a bold, high-energy presence to the streets of Long Beach, blending the intensity of top-level motorsports with the global reach of rock music. Race day will carry that energy trackside as Tré Cool is set to attend Sunday's event as a guest of the team.

"This is a really exciting weekend for us," said Mike Shank. "It's a big moment with both IMSA and INDYCAR competing, and we're proud to represent Acura at their home race. To also have Green Day featured on the car and help promote the launch of their new SiriusXM channel makes it even more special.""

The race is happening this Sunday, April 19. You can watch the broadcast on FOX starting at 5:30pm ET. Keep an eye out for the No. 60 car and Tre leading the start of the race. You can find more details about the race and the full schedule over on the IndyCar website.
