Daytona Beach, FL., Feb. 20 – It seems those rumors that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were headed to Mexico for a weekend wedding were unfounded, since Kutcher was in Florida on Sunday, waving the green flag that started the Daytona 500 auto race.

In an attempt to broaden the appeal of racing, NASCAR also invited Matthew McConaughey as Grand Marshal, and Vanessa Williams performed. But apparently Kutcher didn’t get the memo; he referred to the fans as “rednecks” during a press conference, and the remark was edited out of the transcript later released by NASCAR. Kutcher immediately tried to cover his faux pas, saying “Redneck in a good way. I’m a redneck.”
