Bowden Dadgums Daytona!

Legendary former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden gave the command to start engines for the Coke Zero 400 with his folksy flare Saturday night at The World Center of Racing, Daytona International Speedway.
 

Bowden was a big hit in the drivers meeting and during pre race interviews. Tallahassee.com reported "Bowden wore black pants with an FSU logo. When asked if they were part of his severance package, he quipped, "Boy, I took everything I could."   As an FSU booster, fine with me.

Bowden rubbed elbows charming all the dignitaries, including HLN host Robin Meade, who look fabulous singing the National Anthem.


Always great to see Coach Bowden, ya know it. Bowden had never been to a Sprint Cup race before, but figured he would enjoy it. After giving the command, he was fixin to find out.

It was good to get Bowden acquainted with Daytona International Speedway; giants in their own way in history here in the Sunshine State.  Go Seminoles!
