Jessica Simpson Is Pepsi 400 Grand Marshal

Jessica Simpson will serve as grand marshal for the 44th annual Pepsi 400 on July 6 at 7:30 p.m. at Daytona International Speedway. Her duties will have her tell drivers to start their engines. “We’re happy to welcome one of America’s fastest rising musical stars,” Speedway President John Graham said. “We’ll get a double dose of Jessica Simpson’s beautiful voice as she performs during the Pepsi 400 pre-race ceremonies and gives the command as grand marshal.”
