James Denton to be race grand marshal

by Marilyn Porter

James DentonIn a delightful break from wedding news and gossip, I’ve got this nugget to report: James Denton has been named as the grand marshal for the Allstate 400 NASCAR race on July 29 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. What does this honor mean and include? He will be participating in a variety of pre-race activities and will be the one waving the green flag, signifying the start of the race. And, I’m just guessing here, he’ll get some pretty good seats for the race. So why Denton?

“As a well-known TV personality on a very popular show and an avid sports enthusiast, James is an ideal ambassador for this monumental race. We are proud to make him an integral part of the festivities,” Joe Tripodi, Allstate’s chief marketing officer, said.

It is a big honor, which James has recognized and is very excited about. He seems like a great choice to kick off the premiere NASCAR race. Have fun, James!
