Slayer and Rick Ware Racing have teamed up to cover the car of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Veteran JJ Yeley. Yeley is set to debut the car next Saturday (August 17) during NASCAR’s annual Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee.
Slayer’s Tom Araya said in a press release:
“It’s exciting and awesome that Rick and the boys are wearing the Slayer banner making us a part of NASCAR history!”
Guitarist Kerry King added:
“NASCAR racing and Slayer have a lot in common. Both are extremely fast, intense and aggressive. I can think of nothing more rad than seeing the Slayer logo on Rick’s car with JJ behind the wheel. I’m sure Disciples of everyone involved will be completely stoked on the bond between these two fierce entities!”
JJ Yeley said of the pairing:
“I am super pumped to have the legendary metal band, Slayer, on my Rick Ware Racing No. 54 Chevrolet for one of the greatest races of the year, the Bristol night race! Being able to showcase the legacy that Slayer has created over the past 40 years is a true honor.”
