Duncan Keith, star defenseman for the Chicago Blackhawks, will serve as Grand Marshal of the 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on July 10, 2010.
Keith, the 6-foot-1 fan favorite, made headlines during the historic run for the title through sheer stamina, strength and skill – especially after he returned to the ice less than seven minutes after losing seven teeth in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals in the 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. He brought home plenty of hefty hardware in 2010, including the Norris Trophy for best all-around performance in the NHL and a Gold Medal from his home country’s Olympic Games in Vancouver.
