Affliction will hit the pavement this Sunday at the Pepsi 500 in Southern, CA, to promote their upcoming October 11 show “Day of Reckoning.”

Mike Skinner, member of “Michael Waltrip Racing,” will be at the wheel in Affliction’s new Nascar wrapped in skulls at Sunday’s race where he will race 250 laps around the oval at Auto Club Speedway.

It’s another big step forward towards main stream acceptance of MMA as a world-wide sport.

“Affliction is proud to make racing history as the first MMA organization to sponsor a car in NASCAR,” said Tom Atencio, vice president of Affliction Entertainment. “NASCAR fans are huge supporters of MMA and this is a great collaboration for both sports.”
