How ironic is it that immediately following the Logano/Hamlin incident at Bristol we have Auto Club Speedway announce its Grand Marshals as the stars of the upcoming theatrical release GI Joe - RETALIATION ??!! Any chance of that theme rubbing off on Joey?

March 19, 2013, Staff report, NASCAR.com
Stars of the upcoming film G.I. Joe: Retaliation , D.J. Cotrona and Adrianne Palicki, will serve as Grand Marshals for the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway on Sunday 3 p.m. ET.

In G.I. Joe: Retaliation, set for release in theaters on March 28, Cotrona plays Flint, a beloved character of the G.I. Joe mythology and a solid and strong-willed soldier who has a bit of a rebellious streak. Palicki plays Lady Jaye, the only female in the squad and never one to back down or be intimidated.
