Michigan State is rolling to the Final Four in style.
OK, so the team is on a charter bus, just like every other team. But the Spartans were greeted with a special police escort, which featured a unique Final Four race car.

Indianapolis is known, of course, for the annual Indy 500, with the 99th running slated for Sunday, May 24 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
But while the players were stuck on a bus, Michigan State athletics director Mark Hollis had some sweeter digs a little closer to the action.
