Kylo Ren himself, Adam Driver, will be this year’s honorary starter for the Indianapolis 500. He’s an Indiana native and will get to wave the green flag for the 107th running of the event this Sunday May 28. Fun facts: he drew up in Mishawaka in northern Indiana before serving in the armed forces with the Marines.
