by Red Stag by Jim Beam™ Bourbon, which includes
a weekend party in his hometown at Comerica Park,

a huge race fan, so being asked to be Grand Marshal
for the Michigan race to help kick off my summer
tour with Red Stag seemed like a fun way to get
the word out,” Kid Rock said.

activities, including being recognized during driver
introductions, give the famous command for drivers
to start their engines and ride in the Grand Marshal
car leading the field during the ceremonial parade
