Ken Griffey Jr. got to wave the green flag at the Daytona 500
It makes sense that Dale Earnhardt Jr. would be at the Daytona 500. He is, after all, a championship driver. But it turns out he wasn't the only Junior there:
And Earnhardt was a little nervous to actually meet the other one:
The Kid even got to wave the green flag to kick off the race (which was eventually won by Denny Hamlin by inches):

But he wasn't the only baseball player there. Apparently Earnhardt got his mouth to work by the time he met Bryce Harper:
Earnhardt was so excited that he was tweeting about it the day before:
The Daytona 500 is clearly where all the cool people go to hang out on one very specific Sunday afternoon. Here's Bryce with CrossFit champion Rich Froning:
Carlos Gonzalez was there, too!
Even astronaut Buzz Aldrin stopped by:
We hope he, Harper and Griffey bonded over the fact that they have all been involved in launching things into space.
