NASCAR is usually not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of hip hop, well unless your name is Funk Flex. But the hype surrounding “Straight Outta Compton” is real, so much in fact that this weekend you will see a race car reppin’ for the movie as it takes the turns around the track.

NASCAR driver Tomy Drissi will drive the No. 26 “Straight Outta Compton” car in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen.
The vehicle is sponsored by the new Universal Pictures movie about the iconic rap group N.W.A. Drissi, a Los Angeles native, is excited to help promote the film, which will be in theaters on Aug. 14.
“This is racing at its best,” Drissi said, via Fox Sports. “The NASCAR guys are a great community … they really treat you like family. And the racing is as good as it gets. They race hard and they race you clean. You can’t ask for a better opportunity.”
This is dope in so many ways. Check the gallery!
