This year’s 135th annual event also features youth sporting events, music, food and the highlight of the day, the Easter Egg Roll. It is expected to attract a crowd of more than 30,000 people.

Danica sits on the Egg Roll Pole with her green Godaddy egg. JJ's Lowes egg was disqualified after it was found to have the yolk extracted. Stewart and Harvick had prior engagements and could not make the White House Egg Roll. Ailing Hamlin said he is glad he's not racing, those chicken eggs handle like ostrich eggs. Logano with his new found machismo was DQ-d for blocking and pushing down children in his qualifying effort.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...was this supposed to be funny???
ReplyDeleteHow embarrassing would it be for Danica to get out drafted on the last lap of the egg roll by a five and six year old?
