Dr. Phil is making a weekend house call.

The television personality and author will drive one of the Chevrolet Camaro pace cars that will help lead the NASCAR Cup Series field to the green flag for the start of the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400.
Dr. McGraw, one of the most well-known and trusted health professionals, is in the midst of his 22nd season hosting daytime television’s top-rated program, Dr. Phil. The award-winning show hosted by the Dallas resident and University of North Texas graduate continues to provide the most comprehensive forum on mental health issues in the history of television.
Dr. Phil has earned 31 Emmy® nominations and has held the No. 1 spot for the last decade. Dr. McGraw himself has earned two Emmys as an executive producer, induction into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Dr. McGraw, who received the coveted Presidential Citation by the American Psychological Association for his significant contributions to the field in 2006, also is an award-winning author. He has penned nine No. 1 New York Times bestsellers and has been published in 39 languages with more than 50 million copies in print.
McGraw will be joined by fellow dignitaries – U.S. Army Major General Kevin D. Admiral and TCU head football coach Sonny Dykes – for Sunday’s event. Admiral is serving as the Honorary Starter and will wave the green flag while Dykes will be the Grand Marshal and provide the start command to the drivers.
