Wayne Taylor, Mario Andretti, Hurley Haywood among Rolex 24 at Daytona grand marshals

Six racing icons will serve as the Grand Marshals for next week's historic 60th Rolex 24. 

Mario Andretti, Hurley Haywood, Scott Pruett, Bobby Rahal, Jack Roush and Wayne Taylor — all past Rolex 24 winners — will give the 61-car field the command to "start engines” to open IMSA's 2022 season. 

“What a privilege it is to have these six racing legends with us,” said Speedway President Frank Kelleher. “Our fans will be able to see them up close and relive their incredible success here. It’s going to be a celebration of 60 years of memorable, iconic moments."

The six legends have a grand total of 20 overall Rolex 24 victories as drivers and owners.
