FORT WORTH, Texas – Caitlin McGee, the star of NBC’s Bluff City Law, has been named the grand marshal of Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
The Boston native will give the traditional command of “Drivers, start your engines!” prior to the green flag of the second race of the Round of 8 in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
McGee costars with Jimmy Smits in the NBC legal drama set in Memphis, Tenn., playing Sydney Strait, a brilliant lawyer who begins working at her father’s (Smits) law firm as they try to repair their tumultuous relationship while fighting injustices.
“I’m super excited to take part in the AAA Texas 500!” said McGee. “As the drivers compete for the championship, I am beyond thrilled to say the most famous words in motorsports at a NASCAR playoffs race to get them started. Getting the opportunity to see this exhilarating sport live will be such an amazing experience!”
McGee’s credits include the ABC hit series Grey’s Anatomy and Chicago Med. She can also be currently seen in Amazon Prime’s Modern Love. McGee is a graduate of Wagner College in New York City, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Performance and Speech.
