Thanks Connie! Here is another neat thing: Colin Powell is driving the pace car this year for the 2005 Indy 500. Yeah! Last year we had about 200,000 people giving a standing O for our military for a good 20 mins. while they took a pace lap before the race. We did it the year before that as well and I am sure we are going to do it again this year. Indy fans LOVE the troops!
I am pleased to see the speedway honor our real heroes and newsmakers- and stop with all of the "MTV celebrity" garbage!!
LOOK HERE!
I am looking forward to cheering for our troops again this year and welcoming General Powell to the Indy 500!!! Perhaps I will get him to wave to me!
