IMS release

July 21, 2010

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark, selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time after the 2009 season, will serve as the grand marshal of the Brickyard 400 on Sunday, July 25 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Clark will wave the green flag to send the field of 43 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers at speed into Turn 1 at IMS. The race starts at 1 p.m. (ET).

“Being a NASCAR fan, it is an honor to be grand marshal for the Brickyard 400,” Clark said. “We were at training camp for so many years prior to this, so it will be my first opportunity to see a race at the Brickyard. I am really excited.”

Clark has spent his entire eight-year NFL career with the Colts and was an integral part of the team’s Super Bowl championship run in the 2006 season. He holds Colts’ career tight end marks for receptions and touchdowns and was the second tight end in NFL history to have at least 100 receptions in one season.
