WWE’s Cena to be Daytona 500’s honorary starter
http://www.nascar.com/news/120207/jcena-honorary-starter-daytona-500/index.html

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — WWE superstar John Cena will wave the green flag as honorary starter of the 54th annual Daytona 500 on Feb. 26 at historic Daytona International Speedway.

Cena was invited to participate in this year’s big race by 2011 Sprint Cup Series runner-up Carl Edwards on WWE’s Monday Night Raw. Edwards got out of his official No. 99 Fastenal Ford and told Cena, “NASCAR asked me to come to Monday Night Raw and personally invite you to drop the green flag and officially start the Daytona 500 on February 26.” An appreciative John Cena enthusiastically accepted with an emphatic “Yes!”

“John Cena is the greatest superstar in WWE today,” Daytona president Joie Chitwood III said. “We look forward to seeing him on the flag stand waving the green flag to start the Great American Race and kick off the new Sprint Cup Series season.”

Cena, who made his WWE debut in 2002, is a 10-time world champion. He can be seen each week on Monday Night Raw. The avid NASCAR fan will headline WrestleMania against The Rock at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on April 1.

Cena’s success has led to starring roles in various Hollywood films. He recently starred in The Reunion and alongside Patricia Clarkson and Danny Glover in the family drama Legendary. His first theatrical film was the 2006 action-thriller The Marine. ..

Leftist lesbian militant Jane Lynch as the Queen of Nascar? Good pick, guys.

We need to quit funding and promoting the Left and quit acting as if we are as stupid as Obama thinks we are.

I am trying to find my way through the NASCAR website that is probably the worst example of brand promotion I’ve ever seen. if anyone knows a link to identify the field, please let me know.

The most famous four words are “Gentlemen, start your engines.” and always will be, no matter how long it stays ruined in current usage. Just like the great Star Trek split infinitive “To boldly go where no man has gone before”.
