Toyota has announced the 2016 Mirai will pace the Toyota Owners 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Richmond International Raceway on April 25.
Set to become the first hydrogen-fueled vehicle to pace a NASCAR race, the one-off Mirai paced car features a white exterior with an LED light bar and prominent Mirai badging.
"Having a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle pace the Toyota Owners 400 is a historic moment for both Toyota and NASCAR and we’re proud it’s the Toyota Mirai," said Ed Laukes, vice president of marketing, performance and guest experience, Toyota Motor Sales, USA. "Bringing the Mirai to Richmond to pace this important race is another way for Toyota to showcase our innovation and environmental leadership."
