Action-sports icon and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Travis Pastrana has been named Grand Marshal of the 36th Yamaha Budds Creek National on August 22, round 27 of the Pro Motocross Championship. A signing session runs from 10 to 11:30am local time, with racing starting at 8am ET.
Just having Pastrana as Grand Marshal changes the atmosphere on site. When a Hall of Famer shows up, the young riders bring a different level of focus. Having watched from the paddock myself, races that get a legend's presence always feel tighter — I'd bet the house on that.

Feels like a Hall-of-Fame draw card, but if it hypes the event, fine by me.
10am signing session is a great time for families to show up.
What does a Grand Marshal actually do at the race?
Mostly ceremonial — starts the race, does the signing session.
Pastrana as Grand Marshal? I'm going, no question.
