Adam Sandler will
return home on July 19 when he serves as the 25th Anniversary Grand Marshal for
the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Sandler, a
native of Manchester, N.H., will star in this summer’s action comedy “Pixels”, which will hit theaters July 24.
New Hampshire
Motor Speedway officials made the announcement Wednesday night, in front of
fans and media at the speedway’s 25th anniversary event with fellow New Englander
and Sprint Cup Series driver Joey Logano. Sandler will participate in driver
introductions on the Magic Mile frontstretch and attend the NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series drivers meeting prior to giving the command for drivers to start their
engines, moments before the running of the New Hampshire 301.
Commenting on the
announcement, Sandler said, “When I was a little kid in New Hampshire, I used
to watch NASCAR with my dad and brother and we looooved it. I know my dad would
be baffled that I’m getting this honor and I'll be thinking of him when I'm
saying those words! Great to be home! Always!”
Adam Sandler, who
hails from Manchester and graduated from Central High School, has enjoyed
phenomenal success as an actor, writer, producer and musician.
This year, Sandler
will star in and produce two films for Sony Pictures: “Pixels”, for director

and “Hotel Transylvania 2”, where he will once again lend his voice to Dracula.

ReplyDeleteAwesome, Sandler is the best!
ReplyDeleteHe already owns one of the worst commands to start engines. Let's hope history doesn't repeat.
