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."
