Jay Leno to serve as Grand Marshall at Indianapolis MotoGP
Filed under: Motorsports, Motorcycle, Celebrities
Take note, MotoGP fans. The series' next stop will be right her in America at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As the second and final stop here in the United States, this will be the last time you'll be able to see the fastest motorcycles ridden by the most talented riders in the world for a while.
And we've just been made aware of yet another reason why you might want to make the pilgrimage down to Indy for the weekend's festivities. It seems that the Grand Marshall for the event will be none other than certified gearhead and comedian Jay Leno.
As part of his duties, Leno will be presenting the winner's trophy at the end of the race, but he apparently won't be taking any hot laps of his own. Says the comedian:
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the greatest spectator tracks in the world. Thankfully my R1 will stay in the Big Dog Garage as I plan to watch and cheer on our three Americans right from the pits.
