John Cena’s NASCAR Selection Draws Criticism

MassLive.com is reporting that John Cena’s selection as the celebrity starter for the Daytona 500 is being criticized by NASCAR fans. The criticism is falling along two lines; the first is that enthusiasts fear that being associated with pro wrestling legitimizes the opinion of anti-NASCAR fans that the sport is rigged, and the second is that NASCAR is “abandoning its roots” by using celebrities for big events.

Cena is a noted car fan and has been associated with NASCAR drivers in sponsorships, such as Gillette’s “Young Guns” series.
