As part of their Joining Forces initiative, first lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden will serve as grand marshals for the Sprint Cup Series season-finale Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. NASCAR, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden will recognize service members and military families from the local community in pre-race ceremonies and at a special BBQ lunch and will also invite a military family to join them as they lead the pre-race ceremony and offer the command for drivers to start their engines.

Just saw another thread, had to go to NASCAR.COM to confirm.

As my wife said, this is "NETFLIX STUPID", in reference to the NASCAR people not knowing how pissed off this is going to make their customers.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Norm, can you get this out to the NASCAR people? Makes me wanna vomit.

[DManA]

That’s DOCTOR Biden to you bumpkins.

[PMAS]

Grand Marshalls of what ?
The Wrecking America 500 ?

Tear your ticket up and send it back to NASCAR. Obviously you are being “set up”.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Oh this is going to go over well. LOL

[Vaquero]

LOL, all that money funneled through GM form tarp. NASCAR got millions, money buys thing who. Knew.

Yep, it’s a setup. They are probably positioning operatives to scream insults at them near the cameras as we type.

[Venturer]

The military being “used”.

" They are probably positioning operatives to scream insults at them near the cameras as we type."

You mean the ones wearing the white sheets and hoods?

[Sooth2222]

Will CNN edit out the crowd reaction?

[sappy]

it’s all campaigning. trying to reach out to the people they despise most.

[Abathar]

"You mean the ones wearing the white sheets and hoods?"

I sure as hell wouldn't put it past them...

[chris_bdba]

I hope they get booed!

[AmusedBystander]

Just waiting for the day NASCAR will be forced to run plug-in Chevy volts in all of their races.

[griswold3]

That’s probably why they sent two women. Southern Gentlemen wouldn’t behave badly.
I’ll never forget the ‘greeting’ President Clinton received. Many ‘progressives’ thought it was from the uncouth crowd, but actually the guy just needed to shut up and let the race start.
