Mark Wahlberg, award-winning actor and producer, and team owner Michael Andretti will join the field at the start of the 2010 Indianapolis 500.
Michael Andretti will drive Wahlberg in the custom-built, two-seat Indy car.
Andretti and Wahlberg will follow four parade cars and lead the official pace car and the 33-car field of IZOD IndyCars on three parade laps.
Once the parade cars exit the circuit, the two-seat race car will round the track at nearly 200 mph to catch the field from behind as the field takes the green flag for the most famous race in the world.
This historic moment, which marks the first time in modern history that a driver and passenger will join the field of the Indy 500.
At speeds close to 200 mph, Wahlberg will endure G-forces equal to a space shuttle launch at Cape Canaveral as he rounds the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway track, traveling the length of a football field in less than a second.
