Many Indiana residents wait all year for the Indianapolis 500 weekend. This year's event had many great moments to enjoy for fans in attendance. Indianapolis Colts fans had to be shocked to see one of the fan base's most hated players, former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady, play a role in this year's event. 

Brady rode behind racing legend Jimmy Johnson to help get the race to the green flag. Below, you can see his post about the experience, in which he threw in a jab at Colts fans.

During an interview, Brady spoke about getting this opportunity. He also shared a pretty dark joke that I think even Colts fans had to find funny. The former NFL quarterback stated that "there are a lot of Indianapolis Colts fans here that would like to see me crash."

Thankfully, Brady got through the lap with no complications. Fans at the Indy 500 still let him know they haven't forgotten the years of torture he played a part in during the Colts and Patriots' legendary rivalry. With loud boos pouring in after he was announced ahead of the Indy 500.
