The historic pre-race traditions continue before the cars take the track including performances of God Bless America and the Star-Spangled Banner, and a military flyover with four F-18E's crossing the track at over 300 mph.

1969 champion Mario Andretti is fairly excited about his passenger in the two-seater that will lead the pace car before the race.
The extraordinary @ladygaga is riding with me in my @Honda 2-seat IndyCar at the start of this historic Indy 500. Could I be any luckier?
