OBL Doesn't Want To Hit The Wall

As you may recall, Our Boy Lance is driving the pace car Sunday to start the Indianapolis 500.

And while he rarely hit the wall as cyclist, there's a different kind of wall he wants to avoid at the Speedway.

Said OBL (during his Speedway press conference): Even as freaked out as I was today, it’s going to be a whole another level. Coming out of the last turn at 120 mph, that was tougher than I thought. And not really knowing where the wall is, they’re like, ‘Get up closer to the wall.’ I’m like: ‘No, I’m not getting closer to the wall. No, I’m going to stay away from the wall!’ It will be a whole another feeling, and when you put that many people in the place it narrows up real quick."
