Josh Duhamel: Speed Racer

The actor has the honor of driving the pace car at the 2009 Indy 500. His ride will be the Chevrolet Camaro -- the model that appears in his upcoming 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.'

"The Indy 500 is a legendary race," Josh says. "It’' a great honor to be driving the Camaro Pace Car in it."

"We're happy to welcome Josh Duhamel as Pace Car driver for the Indianapolis 500," added Joie Chitwood, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president and CEO. "As a star in one of Hollywood's expected blockbusters this summer, it's only fitting that he will lead the field to the start of 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing' on Memorial Day weekend."
