Palin To Make VIP Appearance At Daytona 500

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be a VIP guest at next month's Daytona 500.

Daytona International Speedway president Robin Braig said Palin will make her first appearance at NASCAR's most storied track the day before she serves as guest speaker at the city's annual chamber of commerce dinner.

Palin won't have any official role in the Daytona 500, but the former Alaska governor will be introduced at the pre-race drivers meeting along with other celebrities.

Braig said track officials checked with NASCAR's political advisers before signing off on Palin's visit. Braig said the reaction was to "showcase her just as much as we would our mayor, our governor or our senators."

Did Jack Kemp draw crowds of thousands a year after he and Dole lost the 1996 election? There is something special about Sarah Palin.

...Bill France Jr. has called NASCAR fans "the kind of people who go to war and win wars for America."

Sarah's kind of people.
