Our Grand Marshals For The Ride For Children, 2023
Katey Sagal
An extremely gifted, versatile performer adept at both comedy and drama, actress/singer Katey Sagal became a household name in the late 1980s as the fabulously brazen, undomesticated Peg Bundy on the enduring Fox series Married... with Children (1987).
Kurt Sutter
Raised in the shadow of Rahway prison, Sutter spent most of his New Jersey childhood indoors, away from people, three feet from a TV screen. That's where he learned the essentials of storytelling and the comic significance of anvils.
After graduating from Rutgers University with a BA in Film, Kurt spent several years as an actor in NYC, performing in off-off-Broadway theatres, lofts and holding cells. His theatre training led to teaching and directing and, in the mid-nineties, he joined the faculty of "The Gately-Poole Acting Studio" on Theatre Row, teaching the Sanford Meisner Technique and directing productions at "The Nat Horne Theatre".

Rusty Wallace
For nearly 40 years, racing legend Rusty Wallace has delighted racing fans not only with his hard-nosed and aggressive approach to racing, but also with a personality and charisma that are unmatched in the sport.
Wallace—the 1989 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, 1984 Rookie of the Year and 55-time Cup Series race winner—will go into history as one of NASCAR’s finest drivers. For 16 straight seasons, Wallace won at least one race in NASCAR’s Cup Series, marking the third-longest such streak in history. At the time of his retirement in 2005, Wallace’s 55 victories marked the eighth-best all-time total and his nearly 20,000 laps led ranked seventh all-time.
Frank Scott
Frank Scott - From his early days as an Army Paratrooper to his 10 years stint as an Army Reserve Drill Sergeant, Frank has never been shy. That's why he pursued a career in Broadcasting. A career that began in 1992 and led Frank to Daytona Beach in 1995. Frank has been part of the Frank and Tracy Morning Radio Show with Tracy Dillon for most of the past 30 years. One of the main reasons that Frank wanted to work in the media is to have an outlet to give back to the community and work with charitable and non-profit organizations. In addition to being part of the "Ride for Children" since October 1995, Frank has also served on the board of Directors for the Daytona Playhouse. He has also done work for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, The Boys and Girls Club, Our Children First, The Veterans Support Fund, several animal rescue groups and more. In his spare time, Frank enjoys physical fitness, the beach and traveling. He has also recently begun importing raw coffee beans and roasting them. Although just a hobby now, this could grow into a future business endeavor. The Ride for Children and Camp Boggy Creak are very important to Frank and he hopes to always be part of this annual event.
