RGIII Will Drive NASCAR Pace Car
Washington Redskins starting quarterback Robert Griffin III will drive the Official Pace Car to start Saturday’s Toyota Owners 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
So cool of @RGIII to come check out @nascar @RIRInsider this weekend. He’s a true professional, this will be great for fans of both sports.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. started the conversation on Twitter with RGIII a month ago about the possibility.
Love to have him involved with something at the race. We have options! Think he can wheel the pace car @DaleJr @RIRInsider @RGIII @NASCAR

Griffin will lead the field of 43 drivers to the Green Flag, plus go through Pace Car training, spend time with Earnhardt and visit with former Redskins Coach and current NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs for a garage tour.
Griffin will go through Pace Car training, spend time with Earnhardt, get a complete garage tour from former Redskins coach (and current NASCAR team owner) Joe Gibbs. The night will be capped off with Griffin leading the field of 43 drivers to the green flag.
