Who Needs Danica…
Who needs Danica when you can have this?
Kristi can wave my, ahem… flag anytime.
1992 Olympic gold medalist, popular professional figure skater and recent “Dancing with the Stars” winner Kristi Yamaguchi will wave the green flag to start the 92nd running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 25.
As the first female honorary starter in Indianapolis 500 history, Yamaguchi will send the elite 33-car starting field into the quest for the checkered flag and racing immortality. (And me into a tizzy-fit of jealousy! - ed)
Yamaguchi replaces world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. as honorary starter after Mayweather was forced to relinquish his role due to a death in his family.
Which raises an overtly obvious question; If Kristy was available as a sub presumably she was always on the “a-list” of potential starters, so why did Mayweather head the list?
Someone (Tony “G”?) needs a wee-wee test.
