LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Grand Prix is now accepting applications for race marshals for the 2024 race.
According to race officials, there are 600 positions up for grabs this year.
"We had over 1,000 seasoned marshals apply to support the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix last year," said Silvia Bellot, VP Sporting and Race Operations at Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. "We hope to welcome back familiar faces and have new ones join us to help ensure the safety of our drivers and spectators. With the introduction of our new marshal program, our goal is to welcome even more marshals from Southern Nevada."
The new marshal program is part of a collaboration with US Race Management (USRM) and the goal is to include more local residents.

Those who complete the program may be eligible to work as marshals during the 2024 race.
