AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson has a passion, not just for rock, but for race car driving.
“To get in a race car is a dream come true,” the frontman for the iconic band said in Chattanooga on Saturday.
Johnson and Chattanooga businessman Byron DeFoor, a classic-car owner and avid racer himself, are teaming up to drive a 24-hour race in January at Daytona International Speedway.
“I’d like to get in the top 10,” DeFoor said at his home, where he unveiled the car that he, Johnson and three former race winners will drive in the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona.
