NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers have traveled to various cities across the United States to promote the upcoming 57th Daytona 500 on February 22. Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the race last year and is looking for his third win in the event. This Daytona 500 promotion was similar to a media tour in 14 American cities and one Canadian and Mexican city done by all 16 Chase drivers back in September to promote the Chase for the Sprint Cup and its new format.
The two drivers I would most like to mention are Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski, who both attended hockey games, Gordon in Washington, D.C. (home of my Capitals) and Keselowski in Tampa, Florida, down the road from Daytona Beach. A.J. Allmendinger, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman went straight to Daytona, while Matt Kenseth was sent to nearby Orlando, Joey Logano traveled to Miami, and Kyle Larson and Tony Stewart joined Keselowski in Tampa. Series Champion Kevin Harvick was in Boston, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Denny Hamlin both went to New York City. Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards were in Atlanta and Chicago respectively. Finally, out west, Danica Patrick went to Phoenix and Jimmie Johnson to Los Angeles.
