Guns N' Roses is participating in the upcoming Daytona 500 by sponsoring a car representing the Legacy Motor Club.

The NASCAR team is owned by Maury Gallagher and Jimmie Johnson. Its main drivers are Noah Gragson and Erik Jones who drive the #42 and #43 cars, respectively. Legacy Motor Club unveiled its GN'R car, which will be driven by Jones. The car features the classic Guns N' Roses circle logo on the hood and rose designs all over its body.

Johnson retweeted his team's announcement and added, "My first concert was @gunsnroses, San Diego Stadium (Jack Murphy) 1992… I can promise you, my 17 year old self did NOT see this coming."

The Daytona 500 is taking place Sunday, February 19 at 2:30 PM ET/11:30 AM PT. It airs live on Fox and the Fox Sports App and is streaming on Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV and YouTube TV.
