Bears quarterback Justin Fields enjoys NASCAR experience as grand marshal for Cup Series race
Associated PressCHICAGO — Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields got a closer look at NASCAR on Sunday when he served as the grand marshal for the Cup Series’ first street course race. It’s fun, and I think as time goes on, I mean I know it’s already a big sport, but I think it’s going to continue to grow, for sure.” Fields gave the command for drivers to start their engines from the press center after the start of the race was delayed by a historic amount of rain that flooded the downtown Chicago course. Chicago has upgraded its offensive personnel around Fields, trading for wide receiver DJ Moore and signing tight end Robert Tonyan and running back D’Onta Foreman in free agency. Throwing with the guys who are in town,” Fields said, “and we’ll probably take a little trip down to Florida soon and just all work out together and hang out.” ___ Follow Jay Cohen at https://twitter.com/jcohenap ___ AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
