We Don't Want Donald Trump to Drive the Indy 500 Pace Car

And here we thought everyone loves Donald Trump! Turns out, not so true.

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!

So what gives?

The protest-page creator explains in a local Indy news article that, "With few exceptions, the honor of driving the pace car has been reserved for those involved with motor sports or those who have become national heroes. Trump, on the other hand, is primarily a businessman whose principal businesses are self-promotion and gambling."

Disapproval also stems from comments made by Trump against President Barack Obama when speaking of running for office .

3. Is the pool of dignitaries that shallow?

They can't find anybody more qualified to drive the pace car? In all of motorsports? In the United States?

5. Dave Letterman should be invited.. He's FROM Indianapolis

He's had cars IN the race, and he's been involved in racing for a very long time..and they would get lots of free promos from asking him:)
