🤣🤣🤣🤣 best part of my day is always revealing to people that might not know how utterly not cool I am. That damn crack was hidden by the carpet man! #Indy500 https://t.co/ukYBf0acZQ

#Indianapolis500 Thank you @kellyclarkson for your beautiful voice singing our National Anthem. You didn’t try to ” put your own spin on it” and “make it your own” like so many others. You stood and proudly sang it as it should be. God bless.
