100th Indy 500 Pre-Race

We have about twenty-five minutes to go before the drop of the green flag here at Indianapolis. A few quick notes:

• We were down on the grid during pre-race and it is HOT! The crew guys were drenched in sweat over an hour before the race and it is going to be a very difficult day in the car.
• Although it is dry now, there is the possibility of rain during the race. Our current read on the weather indicates a shower may come through around 1:45 p.m. local time. The shower will be brief, but could cause a delay.
• Follow along @AutoRacing1 on Twitter during the race for updates from the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500. Enjoy the race!
