Everybody, the countdown is
on for the Indianapolis 500.
The festival cars are on the streets now.
Sarah Fisher's brave enough to e
a ride with this. Ready. Let's .
Well, welcome on board.
Hello, Sarah Fisher. Good to see you again.
Reporting from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
You feel pretty special with
that microphone in your head.
I do. They never let me have on.
All right, so we're on
the racetrack. This is the new Camaro.
Festival car, right. Yes.
This will be used for
the 500 Festival parade,
which will see all the drivers .
So you got to be careful with this thing.
There's a big wall right
there in front of me.
Well, the idea is not to hit th.
It hurts. This is
450, some odd horsepower. Is that what I'm
told? Yeah, I believe it's,
what, 454? It's crazy.
I got just as much torque.
So when you stand on it,
it's going to get it.
So we're on the backside
of the road course here.
You know where you're going.
No, I don't. I'm usually sitting
up in a booth talking. So
we're going that way, right?
We're going the wrong way.
Yeah. You need to go this way.
So how do we get on the racetra?
Here we go. You got to turn
left, Turn left. Turn left.
Always turn left on the Oval.
Dave. All right.
This is pretty cool.
It's getting my blood going.
We're getting close
to the 500. Only a handful
of days left to go. I know.
Here we are. This. OK, we're.
So we're getting ready to
take on the Turn 2 here.
All right. So give me
some advice it up.
Don't run too high on the marbl.
We saw what happened yesterday in Texas.
Stay out of the marbles.
But then don't hit the flat.
That happened too. Don't do tha.
Yeah, I don't do that.
Just perfect right now.
I just let it drift out by the .
Not yet. Not yet. Keep it in he.
Yeah, just a little.
Now start now.
Start going out there.
Yeah, but you got to be on the throttle.
You're not even close. I'm cutt.
This is a grandpa drive, you kn.
If it was Eddie cheaper driving, we'd
have probably tagged the wall back there.
Good old Eddie.
Love to take us all on this car.
All right,
so tell people what you're doing for May.
You're going to be driving the pace car.
I'm the official Indianapolis
Motor Speedway pace car driver,
officially for team Chevy.
So I still get to have a lot ofn
and be involved in the Indy 500.
It's pretty special while
we're going 150 right now.
Yeah, whoo, I'm scared.
I'm going 50, I'm going 55.
So being the pace car driver,
what's that like?
You've done it before.
Well, you know it's a celebrity driver,
right?
It's a job to pace the race and
make sure that the cars come
around at the speed that the
director wants it to come aroun,
and and then just to get the hek
out of the way when they're comg
around there for the green flag.
This is pretty cool, all right?
Coming through Turn 3.
Way offline,
buddy.
Have you ever watched this?
And my blinds. Now you're bette.
Now you're better.
Try to get as close to the wall as you can.
Now, what do I dive into?
Four now. No, no, no, not yet.
Oh, way too early.
That's a typical rookie mistake, Dave.
Goodness, that's bad.
There's a Porter toilet right h.
Oh, yeah, four. Can I stop and use that?
Well, during the Grand Prix?
Yeah, if you really got to go.
All right, so go out here.
Yeah, you got to get out there.
See, we use those markers on the wall.
See the wing and wheels over th.
Yeah. Come out to here.
Oh, you're way too late. Yeah.
There you go. All right, now.
All right. I'm going to try.
We'll do one more lap.
I'm going to try a little better this stuff.
All right, let's try it.
OK, So do I stay?
What groove you run down to Main Street?
Well, you go a little bit
further away from the wall,
and then you're always
checking the wind bane.
You see the wind bane on top the
to see what direction the wind's
going because it's going to chae
how the cars going to react.
So you think that,
but not this Camaro, probably.
I don't think so either.
I don't know. It's got a lot of,
it's got a lot of really cool under kids.
Kids on the bottom. All right.
So I'm 10:00 and 2:00.
AM I doing OK All right.
When do I dive into one?
Well, you see that gate up there? Yeah.
That gates about your turn in point here.
Yeah. See where the track.
It starts getting a little darker yet now.
OK, smooth down there, Dave.
Got to bring it in smooth.
All right.
Now what?
Yeah,
we don't you don't want to get n
there in the concrete that's real bad
that that's when you get to see the out.
What do I do?
Now you start peeling out to the top.
Now let it have its way.
Let the car do its thing. Ride it out.
Do it better. You're better.
Pretty good for a rookie.
Follow those. Now, when do I di?
Now it's just kind of where youe
the tracks start to bend in. Se.
Now, you got to judge that really quick.
At 220 miles, I say, oh,
no, you're on the flat.
Got to get off the flat.
That's not a good place to be.
No, no. Oh, now you're better.
OK, out here. Now aim towards
that wing and wheels right ther.
Where? Got old man.
Nice site.
You're riding with your grandpa right now.
Well,
maybe my 8 year old.
He's probably better at Andy than you are.
He runs it on his simulator every day.
That's not good. All right,
so now here one of these sites,.
Well, you know, I don't know bee
you don't you don't lift very mh
here at Indeed you don't live.
So I think for me, that was when I popped my
head up to go into the corner and qualify.
But now we don't need to do that anymore
because they got those arrow screens,
and I'm one of those old people. I like that.
Just like me. Yeah, well, you c.
You can run the Camaro down there and
see what it feels like down her.
No. On the on the bricks. Yeah.
Just see what it feels like.
Because that's. Yeah.
Oh, see how bad it is down ther.
Oh, my Lord. They hit that.
Now you know why they go to the fence.
Boy, that'll that'll mess with .
That'll mess your car up. Yeah.
But it's actually, if you've noticed,
all four corners are just a lite
different there, aren't they? Y.
They're each a little special
in their own unique ways.
This has been fun.
Thanks for the ride here.
Well, thank you for the ride.
You didn't scare me as bad as
I thought you were going to.
Well,
again,
I drive like a grandpa.
Oh, now we got to go from 220
down to down to 60. So good luck
with that face in that truck.
Yeah, that must be bizarre. Hol.
Well, thanks for the ride, everybody.
Say thanks to Sarah Fisher for
the ride come May, Indy 500.
