Unser will be at the famed 4-km road course throughout the race weekend, meeting fans and signing autographs.

"We are absolutely thrilled to have Bobby as our Grand Marshal for this weekend's event and 50th anniversary season celebration. He is such a racing icon," said Myles Brandt, President and General Manager of Mosport International Raceway.
