Daytona International Speedway officials named Trump the grand marshal for NASCAR’s season opener, meaning he will deliver the most famous four words in auto racing. “Gentleman, start your engines,” has been a staple of races around the country and world for decades.

We’re honored that the president of the United States has chosen to experience the pageantry and excitement of ‘The Great American Race.’”

Trump is the third sitting president to attend a race at Daytona, but only the second to attend the Daytona 500. George W. Bush attended in 2004. Trump is the first to be given an honorary role in pre-race ceremonies.

Last year, Trump also praised retired driver Mario Andretti, the Daytona 500 winner in 1967, reminiscing about a ride Andretti gave him in a race car for his reality show “The Apprentice.”

“I said, ‘Mario, get me out of here. I want to get out of this car,’” Trump recalled. “We went so fast. We literally — we covered four blocks in like a second.”

This is great - I know a female NASCAR Hillary fan who’ll be triggered!!

I don’t normally watch the race, but, for me, Daytona is always a sign that winter’s almost over.

[dfwgator]

Can they still say, “Gentlemen”?

[Political Junkie Too]

Does anybody remember when Michelle Obama and Jill Biden gave the command at the 2011 NASCAR season final at Homestead?

DJT is a Showman. Gotta watch!

[circlecity]

I hope he comes to the Indy 500.

Smart marketing!

Good call, NASCAR!

[olesigh]

Commands vary: Lady and Gentlemen, Ladies and Gentlemen, Drivers. Indy has changed each of the last three years

Daytona James Franco started daytime in 2013 Gentlemen and Danica

Daytona Mathew McCounahey Gentlemen Start Your Engines. Don’t know if women were i the race.

I think Trump will say Drivers.

Looks like NASCAR doesn’t have nationwide standard.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

AWESOME!

I stopped watching NASCAR when they went against 2A, Not watching even if POTUS is going to be there.

Nascar season is upon us...Go Blue Oval!!!

“ Can they still say, “Gentlemen”

Now they say “Drivers”. I have a hard time watching NASCAR. It just goes round and round. I love F1, IndyCar and most IMSA races. Actually had a chance to drive the Daytona track last year. Bucket list level experience.

I haven’t really watched a race since Dale Sr. passed. But I’ll watch this one, the beginning anyhow.

>>>Trump recalled. “We went so fast. We literally — we covered four blocks in like a second.<<<

Soon to be added to Trump’s list of Lies by the Washington Post.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump will give the command for drivers to start their engines before the Daytona 500.

Daytona International Speedway officials named Trump the grand marshal for NASCAR’s season opener, meaning he will deliver the most famous four words in auto racing. “Gentleman, start your engines,” has been a staple of races around the country and world for decades.

Song of Songs 2

9. My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart; Behold, he stands behind our wall, gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice:
10. My beloved speaks and says to me, Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away:
11. For, behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone:
12. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing bird has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land:
13. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines in blossom give forth their scent; Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away:
14. O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your countenance, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is comely:

The KJV translates the turtledove as "turtle". Now why would they do that?

It's a weird little world out there. Drivers, start your engines.

Kind of like, "Okay campers, rise and shine!" :)

I guess this just goes to prove that petty buttheads are still with us.

If that is all you can come up with you need to grow more brain cells that actually communicate with each other.

Petty seems to be the liberals new standard.

[Deplorable American1776]

He should say “Americans, start your engines!”, since Daniel Suarez is not in the race.

[MikelTackNailer]

They should use the great YouTube mechanic Scotty Kilmer, who’s videos always start with that phrase.

drivers is easiest and applies to every situation
