NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson will drive IndyCar’s modified two-seatꦏer in the Indianapoli✤s 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-old 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 Yeaꦆr at the Indy 500 in 2022 during his first full-season IndyCar campaign with Chip Ganassi.

“I love the Indy 500,” Johnson said. “There is an en꧃ergy and excitement around the ‘500’ that is unlike anything I have experienced before. Certai🍎nly, 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 time. I’m extremཧely 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 Indianapolis Motor Speedway jus꧒t moments prior to the start of IndyCar’s blue riband race.

Brady won a record seven Supꦇer Bowl titles and was name﷽d the Super Bowl MVP (most valued player) on five different occasions.

The quarterback will join a long list of celebrit🔴ies to get a ride in the two-seater Indy car, incꩲluding Lady Gaga, Diplo, Jon Bon Jovi, Mark Wahlberg and Simu Liu.

Fo༺llowing 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 continues to take part in select racesღ with Legacy Motor Club, a 💫team he co-owns with Richard Petty, Maury Gallagher, and Knighthead Capital Management.
