The Walking Dead’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan To Drive Pace Car For Indy 500

Negan has been setting the pace on The Walking Dead since being introduced in the final moments of Season 6. Now, he will be setting the pace at an upcoming race.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the man burdened with playing the villain on AMC’s popular zombie series, will be driving the pace car at the Indianopolis 500. The race is set to take place on Sunday, May 28, possibly helping fill the void fans of The Walking Dead are feeling on that day of the week, all off-season long.

Morgan will be driving a Corvette Grand Sport.
