Michael Strahan to Drive Pace Car at Indy 500

Michael Strahan, the Fox NFL Sunday analyst, is set to participate in the 2025 Indianapolis 500 by driving the pace car, a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, as announced on the show this weekend. Although he won't be competing in the race, Strahan expressed his excitement about leading the pack and showcased the pace car during the broadcast, humorously noting that he couldn't get into an Indy Car. He shared his enthusiasm for the Corvette, which boasts 1,064 horsepower and can reach speeds of 233 mph, asserting, 'I'm going to drive the pace car, I love this car, this is rad.' Strahan, uncertain about how fast he will be allowed to drive, remarked, 'I know I got all the drivers behind me because I'm leading the pace. We're gonna see if they can keep up.' The 109th Indy 500 is scheduled for May 25, 2025, and Strahan's involvement has been met with excitement from co-host Curt Menefee and fans alike.
