Man, some guys and girls get all the fun – like NBC Sports’ own Rutledge Wood.
Wood was among the pros and celebrities that took part in Tuesday’s media day for the 40th and final Long Beach Grand Prix Pro/Celebrity race.
The Pro/Celebrity race is part of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend, which features the Verizon IndyCar Series, IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Pirelli World Challenge and Formula D series also on the schedule.
Entrants took to social media before, during and after the event to chronicle the fun day they had.
