Academy Award-winner Brendan Fraser named as the honorary starter for the Indianapolis 500

Friday is Fast Friday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as teams and drivers crank up their engines in preparation for a weekend of qualifying.

And while it got off to a soggy, delayed start, there was a big piece of news, and that is this year's honorary starter for the Indianapolis 500.

This year, the job goes to none other than actor Brendan Fraser.

IMS announced the news on Friday while everyone was waiting for the rain to clear so cars could get on track.
