It is always a great honor to be named the grand marshal of a parade or some kind of race and now Michigan State head football coach Mark Dantonio will have that great honor. That makes me kind of jealous. I have always wanted to tell a bunch of “athletes” to start their engines.
According to College Football Talk, the Michigan International Speedway offices issued a press release stating that Dantonio had accepted the role of grand marshal at the Quicken Loans 400 on June 14.
Being named the grand marshal of one of the biggest races in the Midwest is a huge honor and it just proves how much of an impact Dantonio has made for the Spartan football program.
