The 2025 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear has announced that Olympic medalist and University of Michigan national championship gymnastics star Paul Juda will serve as grand marshal on Saturday, May 31.
Juda recently helped the Michigan Wolverines claim their seventh national championship in gymnastics. He also made national headlines, not only for his athletic achievements, but also for his marriage proposal to fellow U-M gymnast Reyna Guggino following the Wolverines’ national championship victory on April 19.
Juda and Guggino both will be in attendance to celebrate “Sports Car Saturday” at the Grand Prix on May 31. The couple will tour the Fifth Third Paddock as they meet some of the stars of Detroit Grand Prix. Juda will then participate in pre-race ceremonies on the Autotrader Winner’s Circle, positioned high above Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Pit Lane.
Juda, the 23-year-old native of Des Plaines, Illinois, will also deliver the official command of “Drivers, Start Your Engines” before the first race of the Grand Prix weekend – the Chevrolet Sports Car Classic – featuring the GTP and GTD PRO classes of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (Saturday, May 31 at 3:30 pm ET on Peacock).
“We are thrilled to welcome Paul Juda as the Saturday grand marshal at the 2025 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear,” says Michael Montri, president of the Detroit Grand Prix. “Paul’s incredible athletic achievements during his career at the University of Michigan are a tribute to his dedication, talent and hard work and his commitment to giving back to the community make him a true champion and reflect the values we cherish at the Detroit Grand Prix. We are honored to have Paul and Reyna join us at the Detroit Grand Prix at the end of May.”
