Gronkowski and family serving as grand marshals at Chicago NXS race:

New England Patriots All-Pro tight end and Super Bowl Champion, Rob Gronkowski, will kick off Father’s Day Weekend at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday, June 20. Alongside his brothers Gordie Jr., Chris, Dan, Glenn and their father, Gordy Sr., it will be a family affair as Rob and his four brothers serve as co-Grand Marshals and Gordy Sr. serves as the Honorary Starter. Rob will then lead the field of drivers onto the track as the official pace car driver prior to the NASCAR XFINITY Series race under the lights. Gronkowski, 26, recently became the first tight end in NFL history to have four consecutive seasons with 10 or more touchdown receptions, and owns an NFL record for most touchdown receptions by a tight end in a single season with 17 in 2011.(Chicagoland Speedway)(6-3-2015)
