The Indy 500 2025 is looking to be a BANGER. With many big celebrities joining the event, there are two names that stand out from the crowd. Why? Well, these names will be sitting in the fastest car in the world. And nobody will require an introduction for the two of them. Everyone has seen them commentating for their respective sports on the FOX Broadcast. Obviously, one is Michael Strahan, and the other, who is his passenger, is Alex Rodriguez.

Surprise, surprise. To keep the tradition going, the Indy 500 has always picked interesting fan favorites to sit in the fastest car during the pre-race. In 2024, the pace car was driven by Ken Griffey Jr, a 13-time MLB All-Star. So this year, the Indy are going above and beyond by seating 14-time MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez in the stadium’s top seat. It will be fascinating to see Rodriguez and his colleague Michael Strahan have the time of their lives in the world’s fastest car.

The announcement for Rodriguez read, “@MLBONFOX analyst Alex Rodriguez will ride in the ‘Fastest Seat in Sports’ 2-seater to kick off the @GPSTPETE & the ’25 @IndyCar season Rodriguez becomes the 2nd @FOXSports analyst to land a high-profile pre-race role, along with Michael Strahan (Indy 500 pace car driver)” This announcement has gotten the fans extremely excited for the event. Strahan and Rodriguez are two big fan favorites, and seeing them drive a car that fans adore adds to the event’s excitement.

For those who missed the NFL pregame, at that time Michael Strahan was announced as the honorary pace car driver. He will become the 109th pace car driver, leading the way for 33 other drivers. And the car he is sitting in is on a completely different level. It is the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 coupe which produces 1,064 horsepower and has a top speed of 233 mph.

Aside from that, the Indy will make the event even more memorable by honoring renowned driver Dan Wheldon. Sebastian Wheldon, the son of the legend, will be on track to commemorate his father. On the other hand, Susie, Dan’s widow, will be pushing the green signal for the race. Man, the event is going to be incredible and emotionally charged.

While Michael Strahan will be delighted to be among the handful who are a part of this event. At the same time, he will be occupied with other things too. What other things? Well, obviously he is doing a lot of work towards his new venture, right?
