Alright, alright, alright…
Academy Award winning actor, author, University of Texas professor and Minister of Culture, and all-around rad dude… the great Matthew McConaughey is the Grand Marshal for today’s NASCAR Cup Series race at COTA in Austin, Texas.
And he did NOT disappoint.
He delivered the command to start the engines in the most Matthew McConaughey way possible.
We definitely want to go! 👏@McConaughey delivers the command to start engines for @NASCARatCOTA! (📺: FS1) pic.twitter.com/kzG8wAlwTy

And the entire NASCAR-watching world (for the most part) LOVED it.
@McConaughey. Love your style! Can you give the command every weekend? #NASCAR #NASCARatCOTA #EchoParkTGP
