Daniel Craig made a pit stop in Charlotte to promote, no doubt, his new movie 'No Time To Die '.  Fans were thrilled to see James Bond himself during the premiere weekend of his final incarnation of the character with the actor.

Not sure how long he stayed to watch the race but he did drop the green flag at the start .  My family and I went to see that movie by the way.  It is probably my second favorite James Bond movie to date and it was bittersweet because it is the last one that Daniel Craig will ever be in.  Man, he was a super cool Bond.  I am not a huge Bond movie fan but this movie anyone can love.

This was not Daniel Craig's first trip to the speedway.  He made the movie "Logan Lucky" which was all about a planned bank heist at the speedway.  Funny to hear him with a "southern accent".  I like him better as Bond.
