Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron is one-upping his coach by driving the pace car at today's Aaron's 499 race, and don't think he isn't letting Nick Saban know about it.
Saban served as grand marshal at the race in 2009, but didn't get to drive.
"I joked with him that he's one of the most important guys in Alabama and he had to ride in the passenger seat," McCarron said this morning during a meeting with reporters. "What does it say about me that I'm driving?"
