Former NY Giants Strahan to grand marshall Subway Fresh Fit 500

Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan will revisit Phoenix and be the grand marshal for the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway on April 18.

Strahan is a Subway spokesperson and an NFL analyst for FOX. He retired from the Giants after their improbable 17-14 triumph over the unbeaten New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium.

"My old team won the big game in Phoenix back in 2008, so I am happy to be headed back to the desert for another great experience," Strahan said.

Big Machine Records recording artists Kate and Kacey Coppola will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” prior to the SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500
