TRANSFORMERS DAYTONA 500 CAST – Grand Marshal Announcement
The stars of "TRANSFORMERS: Dark of the Moon"– Josh Duhamel, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and director Michael Bay – will serve as the Grand Marshals for 53rd running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011, airing at 12 p.m. ET on FOX. As Grand Marshals, the TRANSFORMERS cast will deliver the four most famous words in motorsports – "Gentlemen, start your engines."
In addition, the modified NASCAR stock cars of drivers Jimmie Johnson, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- featured as characters in the film -- will make their first public appearance by leading the 43-car field during the pace laps of "The Great American Race," the kick-off event to the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
The Daytona 500 will not be Bay or TRANSFORMERS’ first introduction to the NASCAR world. In 2009, Bay piloted the official pace car at a NASCAR Sprint Cup race to promote the DVD release of "TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen." NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman also took part, racing with branded images of opposing AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS on their cars and uniforms. Bay credits his vision to include NASCAR stock cars in the new TRANSFORMERS film to this experience.

In an interview with LA Times.com, Michael Bay talks up the upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon film whilst at the same time admitting that Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was weak and that he has learnt a lot from the experience.
“Look, the movie had some good things in it and it was entertaining and it did very well, but it also failed in some key ways. I learned from it. And now with this third movie we’re going back to basics and I absolutely believe this is going to be a much better film than the second one."

In a response to a comment regarding Michael Bay not being involved with the teaser trailer for Transformers Dark of the Moon over on ShootForTheEdit.com, forum administrator Nelson posted the following reply:
"Wrong. He said initially he didn't have anything to do with it and then later became totally involved. Who do you think shot those NASA, astronauts walking on the moon, and Ark scenes?".
Now is Nelson simply teasing fans or is this the reveal that the spaceship seen in the trailer is actually The Ark?
Nelson has posted on Shoot for the Edit once again with another update on Transformers 3

I arrived at the Chicago Michigan Ave. set on Friday, July 16th. I was
greeted by Mike Case (Bay's assistant) and was taken to Bay's monitor
tent which was in the middle of a war zone. Michael greeted and
proceeded to ask some things about the site. He then took out his iPad
and showed me animatics of some sequences. Holy moly. This movie is
going to be huge!!! In my opinion, more epic than TF2 with the first
time amazement of TF1. I wish I could tell you what I saw on the
animatics, but I can't.
Bay was filming a scene with Shia (Sam) & Rosie (Carly) in which
they were hiding within a wrecked and flipped car. At around that time
the temperature hit 102 degrees (including humidity index). It was so
hot that Shia was sweating through his leather jacket and as was Rosie.
Back to the scene... apparently the scene is one in which a Decepticon
is hunting for them. As Bay filmed this, a cue from the score was played
to add to the suspense.
As the crew broke for lunch, I met Lester Speight (Coltrane on Gears of
War) and went on to lunch with him. He was very nice and delightful.
Later, I got to meet the rest of the cast: Shia, Rosie, Tyrese, and
Josh.
I had the pleasure of talking to Shia for for about 30 minutes and with
Tyrese and Josh for another 30 minutes. All these guys have an
impressionable work ethic, are fun to talk to and down-to-earth people.
And that goes for the rest of the crew. I many many nice and
professional people that are working their hardest to make this movie
successful and entertaining.
As the day came about, Bay, Shia, Tyrese & Josh all came to meet
than fans that had been waiting since 7am to catch a glimpse down the
street. They also were interviewed by CBS 2 TV in which Bay praised the
city of Chicago.
As always, Bay left the best for last. Explosions and gunfire!!
That's it for now. I will post a video of some of the activities later.
Enjoy."
Previously it was believed the name Rush was that of the Ferrari, but in fact it was the name of the street in which it was parked
