Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Christian Fittipaldi has been announced as the Grand Marshal for the 58th edition of the Rolex 24 at Daytona later this month.

Fittipaldi, nephew of two time Formula One Emerson Fittipaldi, retired from competition in 2019 after last year’s edition of the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

During his career, he scored 12 IMSA victories, two IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship titles and four IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup titles as well as three victories in the iconic Florida endurance classic. 

“I was quite surprised and extremely honored to be invited to take on the Grand Marshal duties at this year’s Rolex 24,” Fittipaldi said. “I’m definitely looking forward to it. I think it’s really cool to have this opportunity so quickly after I stopped racing.”

The first of his three victories was scored in 2004 with Bell Motorsports before going on to take two more wins with Action Express Racing, first in 2014 and the third in 2018 under the Mustang Sampling Racing banner. Both of his IMSA titles also came while racing for Action Express.

“With his successes on the track and his magnetic personality off the track, Christian has attracted legions of fans during his storied career,” Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile said.

“He has enjoyed many of his biggest triumphs right here at Daytona International Speedway and we’re honored to have him preside as the Grand Marshal and deliver the starting command for the Rolex 24.”
