Recently, Donald Trump was selected to drive the Pace Car for the Indy 500 coming up on Sunday, May 29. However, after word got out that he was to be the driver, many people became outraged. They protested and created Facebook groups about why he should not be the driver of the Pace Car. Some people claimed the only reason they did not want him to do it was because he is not affiliated with racing. Now, Trump has stepped down and AJ Foyt will be driving it. People seem much more pleased with him. Should Trump have driven the car? Were people only protesting because he's not affiliated with racing?

I do not think Trump should drive the car. I think it should always be someone who has some connection to racing. Also, I think many people are protesting because of the recent criticisms he's had about Obama. He is slamming him and I don't think people want him to drive the Pace Car because of that.
I agree that he shouldn't drive the pace car. I feel like he was just going to drive the car so that he could get more publicity for his possible presidency. I also agree that people protested because of the remarks he made about Obama. There are so many fans of Obama, and they wouldn't allow someone to get away with it. Plus, it makes more sense in AJ Foyt drives the car anyways.
