The ‘Straight Outta Compton’ Race Car Is, In Fact, Real

Racing fans will likely be familiar with Tomy Drissi. Drissi has taken on some… unusual sponsors as a racer, but this might be his oddest yet. Just by the fanbase alone, we’re not sure how many N.W.A. fans NASCAR has, but here we are.

Yes, Drissi will be racing in a the Straight Outta Compton Camry! Drissi will be racing it at Watkins Glen and Mid-Ohio as part of the NASCAR Xfinity series. As to why, precisely, a biopic about one of the defining groups of gangsta rap is being advertised on a race track in the Finger Lakes… well, I guess that just proves the enduring power of “Express Yourself.”
