Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish added another feat to her long list of accomplishments on Feb. 19. She was the honorary starter at the 65th Daytona 500.
The “Girls Trip’’ star was at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach to wave the green flag for the start of what’s called the “Great American Race.”
“Tiffany stands among the best in the business at entertaining a crowd, and now she is joining us on NASCAR’s biggest stage for the 65th running of the Daytona 500,” Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher said prior to the race. “The fans are going to get a great show as the stars will be shining bright both on and off the track on Sunday.”
Haddish added, “I can’t wait to feel the power I’ll have with the green flag in hand as I get to tell those drivers when they can start the Daytona 500.
“Waving the green flag is much like the curtain rising before I perform, and I can’t wait to see these drivers put on a show in The Great American Race!” Read more
