‘’I’m giving up acting and I’m going to be one of the first black drivers of NASCAR,’’ said Tucker, who was invited to Long Pond to serve as the race’s grand marshal. He took advantage of the opportunity to promote his upcoming movie ‘’Rush Hour 3,’’ which was featured on car No. 96, driven by Tony Raines, who finished 15th.
