Last month, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced that Trump will be driving the pace car at this year's race, and some racing fans were less than enthused.

In fact, a whole Facebook page has been created to voice their disagreement with this decision.

The FB page, simply titled "We Don't Want Trump to Drive the Indy 500 Pace Car," is already coming close to 6,000 likes!

Doug Boles of the IMS tells Indy's WTHR News, "We are monitoring the situation, but right now he's our celebrity pace car driver. We didn't realize that he was considering running for president, so clearly when we offered the ride to him, it was because he was Celebrity Apprentice and Donald Trump, the celebrity that he is."

According to the article, they're running out of time to replace Trump even if they want to, with the race on the 29th.

Link to that Facebook page, which has close to 7,000 Likes now.

2. Love the comments on the Facebook page:

"As a GM retiree, I don't want Donald Trump associated in any way with that Chevrolet Pace Car... We've been through enough, and I also fear that animal living on top of his mullet."

"If he's the only one who can't SEE that he needs a better haircut/toupee than the one he has, he certainly doesn't see well enough to drive anything!"

"If the Donald is going to drive the pace car, make it a convertible so we can see his real hairline! Then he'll be even more of a joke than he is now!"

"He doesn't have a long form drivers license, so no way!"

4. Over 8,000 Like that Facebook page now.

The person who started the page just did an interview with the local CBS affiliate, which may run the story on their morning show.
