Jesse Metcalfe is back as the grand marshal for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He is ready to deliver a special command while surpassing his previous effort.
Metcalfe, who will promote his new film “On a Wing and a Prayer,” first served as a co-grand marshal for the 2012 race at Texas Motor Speedway. He then returned solo for the 2016 Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. He brought the energy ahead of the playoff race, but he will now make his return while showing his love of motorsports once again.

Metcalfe did not divulge his approach for his grand marshal return. Though he teased something special after getting reminders about Adam Sandler singing, Kevin James screaming, and Matthew McConaughey taking the approach that only he could.
