Waltrip to throw out first pitch at Marlins game

MIAMI -- Michael Waltrip will throw out a ceremonial first pitch on May 10 when the Florida Marlins take on the Atlanta Braves at Dolphin Stadium.

Waltrip, a two-time Daytona 500 winner, who drives in both the Nextel Cup and Busch series, will help the Marlins and NAPA Auto Parts celebrate "NASCAR Night."

As part of this special night, fans will be able to visit and enjoy Homestead-Miami Speedway's interactive display, located outside Gate H prior to the game, which will include a timed tire-change challenge, a NASCAR Playstation 2 game setup, and the Homestead-Miami Speedway Ford Fusion racecar.

One lucky fan will also win a Ford Championship Weekend prize-package, courtesy of Homestead-Miami Speedway, if their seat number is chosen.
