Today was the annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Quicken Loans 400 race. Two weeks ago, head coach Mark Dantonio was named the Grand Marshal of the event.
The Grand Marshal gives the command to the racers to start their engines, which was heard today at 1:00 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1. Dantonio had high praise for the event as he gracefully accepted the invite.
“I’m both thrilled and honored to have been named grand marshal of the Quicken Loans 400. I’m looking forward to witnessing one of the premier events in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
