Waltrip named grand marshal for Nashville Truck race

LEBANON, Tenn. -- Nashville Superspeedway will play host to the Toyota Tundra 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on Saturday afternoon, August 14 and racing legend Darrell Waltrip will serve as Grand Marshal for the race.

Waltrip will be joined by more than 10,000 Toyota employees from around the nation for the first annual "homecoming" event to celebrate the Toyota Tundra in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Travis Kvapil led the final 17 laps of Saturday's Line-X Bedliners 200 at Michigan International Speedway and gave Toyota its first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory.

Capitol Records Artist Dierks Bentley will serve as Honorary Starter for the Toyota Tundra 200 and perform in a post-race concert. The Capitol Records Concert Series during the 2004 race season has featured Capitol Artists Trace Adkins and Chris Cagle.
