DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (July 10, 2026) – Peter Miles, son of the late sports car racing ace Ken Miles, has been named Grand Marshal for the 12th running of the Historic SportsCar Racing (HSR) Classic Daytona 24 Hour Presented by Mission Foods, set to run November 11 – 15, 2026, at Daytona International Speedway (DIS).

He is credited with spearheading Ford’s historic overall victory in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, as portrayed in the award-winning 2019 motion picture Ford vs. Ferrari that starred Christian Bale as Miles.
