It's #raceweek in Indianapolis! 🏁

Every year since 1911, the #Indy500 has used a pace car. At the start of the race, the pace car leads the starting grid around the track for a number of unscored warm-up laps. If officials then deem appropriate, it releases the field at a purposeful speed to start the race! 🏎

Check out these photos of pace cars from the 1970, 1971 and 1973 races!
