Trump says he's honored to have the job and says the race "has been the gold standard of motorsports for a century."
The Camaro is equipped with a 400-horsepower V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
The race starts at noon and is being televised by ABC.
Ok, people stop ! IndyCar has missed a great opportunity to have a great business man as a team owner in Indy Car ! Donald Trump would be one of the best team owners on the planet. The merchandising alone would be so grand, how could they miss this opportunity. The league would just make money off the shirts alone. You must be kidding me right ? "Your Fired" tees. So what does Trump need to know about racing? Not a dag gone thing, he could get the best advisers on the planet, I have about 200 products that would pay for this deal? Indy please get life together and understand promotions is the man name of this game. Quality teams with major power house names. Look I love this open wheel sport and get involved every year. Weather you like me or hate me, all I care about is a great race, and great teams. I love great drivers. This must not be a missed opportunity on all levels. Look we put Gene Simons in there for a rock band named Kiss? Where that messed up is that Gene did not have a team him self? Gene is a great promoter, but you have to put the man to work. Look Donald Trump has the best PR department on the planet. One of the best reality shows as well. I would love to see him fire a driver and a team manager! That would be the best race on the planet. Look Penske and Gassing need someone else to step in there. Are those the only two teams out there? No they are not, but doesn't open wheel need some bad boys like Trump ? Series sponsor Trump Plaza or Trump Holdings?
I know that the Indy Car or the IRL is probably working on this action, and I hope that is a fact. I am saying that, this is a grand moment in sports for all of us. I know Donald Trump can compete like the others, this will be the best show on earth. NASCAR would not be the place for Trump; American Le Mans maybe? But the Indy Car is very straight forward in all of this action. I know one of my partners will pay for this great adventure. Yes, I know this for a fact. I believe this is the best option for the 100 years ago race action this year. What a great race this year will be. Can you even think that one hundred years ago Carl Fisher pacing back in forth in his office wondering what the turn out would be on that first 500 mile race? Arguing with his partners that this was the best ideal for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway? One race per year, One grand of an Idea 500 miles and what teams would finish this major race? Look everyone if you love racing, you would not have racing today if it was not for the staying power of the Indianapolis 500 mile race. Look one hundred years of racing 500 miles. One powerful presence in motorsports the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be one hundred years old on this 500 mile race this year! Donald Trump will drive the pace car this year, now that is what I am talk-en about people. The power of speed at Indy and the power in the board room with Trump ! Hello happy hour will not be the same this year people. Trump will make a great boss at this years start of this race. Good move IMS !
