Two Hoosier traditions joined forces at this year's 99th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race when "Indiana's Game" met "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing." Indiana Pacers forward Paul George joined 14-year old Riley kid Tori Gwyn and Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee in an IU Health LifeLine helicopter to deliver the green flag that signals the start of the race.
PG and crew flew in from across the city to the Speedway, landing on the inside of Turn 1 before taking a lap around the track in an official Indy 500 pace car with the flag.
