Charlize Theron showed off her long legs in skintight black leather trousers at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 60th Annual Daytona 500.
She crossed her pins as she perched herself on a chair to give a press conference Sunday before the event in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The 42-year-old, who is the race’s honorary starter, said returning to the town was ‘nostalgic,’ as she’d last visited to film her Oscar-winning performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster, USA Today reported.

Charlize wore her blonde hair down and slipped into a black and white T-shirt advertising the iconic rock singer Patti Smith.
For the press conference at the Daytona International Speedway, she modeled black ankle-strap stilettos and held a microphone as she chatted away.
‘I don’t know the intricate details of NASCAR, but I really love the sport of car racing. And I grew up with a family who really loved the sport,’ said the blonde bombshell according to USA Today.
During her upbringing on a South African farm, she often saw engines strewn about outdoors, as her father had a penchant for putting cars together.

Said she: ‘You realize you come from that family when at eight you know what a spark plug does and your friends don’t. But I loved it.’
Charlize reminisced: ‘My dad used to built these little go-karts when I was really young, and I loved racing them. And I would beat the boys all the time’ via the website.
This will be the last NASCAR race to include Danica Patrick, who is the first and still only woman ever to win an IndyCar Series race.

Charlize called Danica’s last NASCAR race ‘very special,’ vaunted her history in the sport as ‘pretty incredible’ and confessed: ‘The girl in me secretly is, obviously, cheering for her.’
Said Charlize: ‘I just love that even my kids were really impressed that a girl was racing cars today too.
‘I think that’s such a good thing, and we need more of that. And hopefully we’ll have more of that enter this culture, which only makes it better and richer.’

Charlize quipped that, if only to ensure a woman remains in such a high position in the profession, ‘Hell, I’ll try it.’
Car racing has found its way into the accomplished movie star’s filmography as well, as in the case of last year’s The Fate Of The Furious.
On Sunday she also posted a social media image of herself outdoors at the race, flashing a peace sign and beaming at the camera.
