A very well-deserved honor is coming for three-time Indianapolis 500 winner and four-time Verizon IndyCar Series champion Dario Franchitti.
Franchitti, who was forced to retire after sustaining severe injuries in a crash last October at the Shell/Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston, will become the 14th former winner of the ’500′ to drive the pace car for the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing" per Curt Cavin of The Indianapolis Star.
Cavin says official confirmation will be made this morning during the Scotsman’s appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America."
