[VIDEO] Colts DT DeForest Buckner Taken for a Ride Around Indy by Josef Newgarden in a C8 Corvette Stingray Pace Car

It’s the month of May and IndyCar is making the most of their homestand during the month at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In addition to the Indianapolis 500 and The Greatest Spectacle in Racing happening on May 29th, there was also the Grand Prix of Indianapolis which was held on Saturday.

In the run-up to the racing events, there is always some fun stuff happening in between and that’s where we find ourselves with a new video from the NTT IndyCar Series featuring Team Penske driver and C8 Corvette Stingray owner Josef Newgarden. In the video, Josef will be driving a hot lap with the Indianapolis Colt’s Defensive Tackle DeForest Buckner around Indy’s road course in the Grand Prix’s official C8 Corvette Stingray pace car.

We watched a few of these hot lap excursions during last year’s IndyCar season and they were fun to watch. But before we can get Josef and DeForest out on the track, first, we have to get the Colts DT into the car as we’re not even sure if Buckner can get his 6’7″ 300-lbs frame into the passenger seat. Spoiler Alert: he fits!

This is the first time that Buckner has been around the track and Josef treats him to the some of the scenery while also telling him how slow they are actually going as compared to when Josef is behind the wheel of his IndyCar racer.
