George Follmer and Parnelli Jones — two of the most competitive drivers during the formative years of the Trans-Am series — will share the track once again as co-Grand Marshals for the Aug. 12-15 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

The pair will be the honored guests Saturday, Aug. 14, and will engage in a Q&A session with race fans during the Picnic in the Paddock, in addition to taking a few honorary laps around the track.

As Ford in Trans-Am celebrates its 55th anniversary, Follmer and Jones are the perfect featured duo. They competed head to head and as teammates in Ford Mustang Boss 302s, fighting for the championship in the 1960s and ’70s.
