Known for such films as Wedding Crashers, Old School and Swingers, this will mark the second time Vaughn has attended a NASCAR event, having been the honorary driver for the 2007 race at Texas Motor Speedway.
“The Daytona 500 is one of the biggest events in all of sports and I feel honored to be able to be a part of it in it in such a major way,” Vaughn said in a statement.
Vaughn is promoting his upcoming movie Unfinished Business, due in theaters March 6. In recent years Ben Affleck, John Travolta, Matthew McConaughey and James Franco have acted as grand marshals.
Officials have not announced who will sing the national anthem for the 57th running of the Daytona 500. Kid Rock will perform a pre-race concert.
