Kanaan, Andretti to appear at Detroit Auto Show
The drivers will be part of the annual NAIAS Racing Day activities at Cobo Center. Racing Day features driver appearances as well as special interactive exhibits and displays celebrating motorsports at the nation's premiere automotive showcase, the NAIAS.
Kanaan, Andretti and Herta experienced the return of world-class racing to Motown in 2007 at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix and all three will be in action when the Grand Prix comes back to the Belle Isle street circuit Aug. 29-31.
Kanaan, Andretti and Herta will participate in a question and answer session with fans at the show from 2:30-3 p.m. in the Michigan Hall and then will sign autographs for fans from 3-4 p.m. in the Michigan Hall.
"I am very excited to go back to Detroit this week for the first time since I won at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix," said Kanaan, who won the IndyCar Series inaugural Detroit Indy Grand Prix last September. "I am definitely looking forward to promoting the 2008 Grand Prix and also to attending the Auto Show. People know I have a passion for cars and I can't wait to see what's new. This is a perfect combination for me – I get to talk about what I love in an environment where I get to look at the most innovative designs in cars."
