Ayesha Curry, wife of the Warriors’ Stephen Curry, will serve as Grand Marshal of Sonoma Raceway’s GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma Verizon IndyCar Series season finale Sept. 16-18.

It is the latest honor for Ayesha Curry, whose celebrity extends beyond being married to a two-time NBA MVP. A burgeoning standout in the world of good eats, she owns a meal-delivery startup, a collection of baby footwear and a signature line of olive oils, vinegars and aprons. Curry opened International Smoke, a pop-up restaurant in San Francisco, in June with a permanent location set to open in Hawaii, and her first cookbook — “The Seasoned Life” — will be published Sept. 20.

Long known for her popular food and lifestyle blog “Little Lights of Mine,” she will soon have her own Food Network show, “Ayesha’s Homemade,” which will splice cooking segments with scenes of Curry's life at home with Stephen and their two daughters.

“We are very excited to have Ayesha join us for the GoPro Grand Prix weekend,” Steve Page, Sonoma Raceway president and general manager, said in a news release. “She has emerged over the last two years as one of the Bay Area’s most dynamic personalities and culinary stars, and she’ll be a perfect fit for such a high-energy event in the Sonoma Wine Country.”

As Grand Marshal of the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma, Curry will participate in pre-race activities on Sept. 18 and yell the command, “Drivers, start your engines!” This will be her first visit to a motorsports event.

“I’m very excited,” Curry said. “You can’t beat seeing a sporting event like this in person, and I’m sure it will be an incredible experience.”
