The field is stacked with stars, including four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves, a former “Dancing with the Stars” champion who is making his NASCAR debut Sunday at the age of 49.

Anthony Mackie will serve as the Grand Marshal for the 2025 Daytona 500, lining up with the release of Captain America: Brave New World.
