BROOKLYN,
Mich. -- Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan International
Speedway is attracting some of Detroit’s biggest
sports stars.
Detroit
Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom will serve as the honorary
pace car driver for the race. The longtime Red Wing defenseman
will pace the 43-car field in the official 2010 Ford Mustang
GT pace car for the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400,
a job usually held by NASCAR’s Brett Bodine. This
will be Lidstrom’s first visit to MIS, and he will
also take part in pre-race ceremonies and the drivers’
meeting prior to the race.
Additionally,
Ndamukong Suh, the Detroit Lions’ first-round draft
pick in 2010, will be on hand serving as an honorary official
for the race. Suh, who is expected to be an immediate
impact player for the Lions this fall, was recently at
the Indianapolis 500 and will also be making his first
visit to the Irish Hills track on Sunday to participate
in pre-race ceremonies. At MIS, he’ll likely keep
an eye on how the Ford teams are doing.
“We
are pleased Nicklas Lidstrom and Ndamukong Suh will be
here on Sunday for the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400,”
track President Roger Curtis said. “Lidstrom is
a household name in Detroit and I have a good feeling
that Suh will be making quite a name for himself in Detroit
as well when the football season begins this fall. To
have these two great athletes from our professional Detroit
sports teams come out shows us how much our home teams
support the speedway and NASCAR.”
Nestled
in the lush Irish Hills of Southeastern Michigan, Michigan
International Speedway is the Great Escape, a venerable
NASCAR national park where fans can get away and enjoy
the very best in racing and camaraderie. It’s the
love of racing and the thrill of a great time for race
fans and drivers alike.
