NASCAR has already hit a grand slam before the week of racing at Daytona International Speedway. On Monday afternoon, the superspeedway announced that [autotag]DJ Khaled[/autotag] will wave the green flag for the 2024 Daytona 500. Klahed is a GRAMMY award-winning DJ, artist, and music producer who joins a star-studded lineup.
Alongside Khaled, NASCAR has acquired Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the Grand Marshal, Miss America as the honorary pace car driver, and Pitbull as the pre-race performer. It is an incredible lineup that NASCAR has never seen in its history. Four of the most well-known celebrities in the world will be present at the Daytona 500.

Khaled will also join forces with longtime Trackhouse Racing sponsor Wendy’s to promote the company’s Biggie Bag. When NASCAR heads to Daytona this weekend, he will be involved in multiple aspects. Overall, NASCAR has hit the ball out of the park when it comes to acquiring big names, and hopefully, the racing is just as good.
