“To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man.”
Ric Flair commercial promotes Speedfest Autograph session with David Ragan, Jeff Burton and Joe Nemechek
While the audio quality sounds as if it were recorded from the top of Space Mountain, the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair recorded a promo advertising his appearance at CRA Speedfest 2014 at Watermelon Capital Speedway in Cordele, Ga.
Such is the legendary phrase uttered by 16-time NWA, WCW and WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Nature Boy Ric Flair. ‘The Man’ in the Super Late Model ranks will be decided after 200 laps at Watermelon Capital Speedway but before the race can begin, Flair will serve as grand marshall of the event.
He is set to sign autographs with NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers Jeff Burton, Joe Nemechek and David Ragan, of which the latter is set to compete in his third consecutive Speedfest Super Late Model event. Nemechek and Burton are attending to support their sons, John Hunter and Harrison who will be competing in the Super Late and Pro Late Model divisions respectively.
The commercial, featuring Flair can be viewed at the top of the post while schedule and ticket prices can be found below.
