Tony Stewart has been chosen as grand marshal for the Fiesta Bowl parade in Phoenix on Jan. 3. Stewart is the first driver to be so honored. He also will be part of the coin toss before the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., on Jan. 5. Stewart, a two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, said his success long ago in Phoenix led him to quit his job in a machine shop to become a full-time driver. Fiesta Bowl executive director John Junker had a warning for Stewart about the parade, though. “We do have one rule,” Junker said. “There is no passing in the parade.” The Associated Press; Getty Images photo
