NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson will drive IndyCar’𓄧s modified two-seater in the Indianapolis 500, with NFL great Tom Brady sitting in the back seat.

Johnson will lead the parade lap ahead of the 109th running of the Indy 500 on 25th May, driving what has been dubbed the “Fastest ✃Seat in Sports”.

While the 49-year-o🎃ld is best known for his career in stock cars, having won a record-equalling seven titles in the Cup Series, he was also awarded the Rookie of the Year at the Indy 500 in 2022 during his first full-season IndyCar campaign with Chip ཧGanassi.

“I love the Indy 500,” Johnson said. “There is an energy and excitement around the ‘500’ that is unlike anyt♏hing I have experienced before. Certainly, pre-race ceremonies are the ultimate racing experience that I’ve had outside of the car.

“I’m thrilled to be a part of the program and to see the stands full one more tim✅e. I’m extremely honored to come back and do it and to be able to also share this experience with another seven-time champion.”

Johnson will give Brady a chance to experience the famous Indi🐓anapolis Motor Speedway just moments prior to the start of IndyCar’s blue riband race.

Brady won a record seven Super Bowl titles and was named the Super Bowl MVP (most 🅰valued player) on five different occasions.

The quarterback will join a long list of celebrities to get a ride in the two-seater Indy car, including Lady Gaga, Diplo, Jon Bon Jovi, Ma🌄rk Wahlberg and Simu Liu.

Fol💫lowing the Indy 500, Johnson will fly to Charlotte to take part in the Coca-Cola 600, the longest race on this year’s Cup Schedule.

Although he retired from full-time NASCAR competition in 2020, he cont꧒inues to take part in select races with Legacy Motor Club, a team he co-owns with Richard Petty, Maury Gallagher, and Knighthead Capital Management.
