“We are honored to have Dominick Cruz as our Honorary Pace Car Driver, he has always represented his sport and the state of Arizona with class,” said Sperber. “We know our fans will be excited to see him drive the pace car on race day.”
Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Cruz, 27, has ascended to the top of his profession.
