Cook’s duties as Grand
Marshal include several meet-and-greets with NASCAR drivers, race fans and
media, as well as, giving the command to start engines for the GoBowling.com
400. Cook voices Dusty, a crop duster who dreams of becoming a
high-flying aerial racer in “Disney’s Planes,” which debuts in theaters
nationwide on Friday, August 9. Additionally, a crop duster reflecting Dusty’s
design will perform the flyover prior to the start of Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series race.
Johnson, the most recent
Cup Series winner at Pocono, will host a fan-driven, question-and-answer session
the morning of Sunday, August 4. This year’s Jimmie Johnson Fan Q&A session
will take place at the Lowe’s display, located inside Pocono Raceway’s Fan Fair
area. Access pass holders will receive a “Disney’s Planes” Lowe’s Build and
Grow car, priority access to Johnson & Cook’s question-and-answer session,
a chance to win a Pocono Raceway track piece signed by Johnson and the
opportunity to preview the trailer for “Disney’s Planes.” Access Passes for the
Jimmie Johnson Q&A are available at $48 for family four-pack or $20 for
individuals and are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
A portion of the
proceeds from this Jimmie Johnson Fan Q&A will support “Crossing Abilities”
of Monroe County. Crossing Abilities, sponsored by Pocono Alliance, a 501 (c)
(3) non-profit organization is a project comprised of volunteers with a
collective vision for making a safe, all-inclusive playground a reality in
Monroe County. The future site for this playground will be Mountain View Park,
located in Tannersville, PA. For more information about this project, please
