'Grown Ups 2' stars sing 'start your engines' at Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Depending on who you ask, Saturday night's command to fire engines at Daytona was either hilarious or the worst thing ever.

Put us down for hilarious. Grown Ups 2 stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Shaquille O'Neal decided to sing the "Drivers, start your engines" command — and it was perhaps the most creative and unique way to start a race in motor sports history.

Sandler said he, James and Shaq used to be part of a "boy band" before their days in Hollywood and that they were going to perform one of their greatest hits.

Then this happened:

Twitter immediately erupted with mass hatred for the command, but the thought here is people should lighten up. Don't take sports too seriously — it's entertainment and should be fun.

And though it was a bit silly, the Grown Ups 2 stars certainly had fun.
