Manning to be grand marshal, wave Indy start flag
March 14, 2007 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Colts quarterback Peyton Manning will be the grand marshal of the Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade and wave the green flag to start the race on May 27. Manning was the most valuable player in the Colts' 29-17 victory over Chicago in the Super Bowl. ``His performance in the Colts' run to the Super Bowl secured his place among all-time Indiana sports legends, electrifying and uniting the entire community in a blue wave of Colts' team spirit,'' Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Joie Chitwood said Wednesday. The annual parade is May 26, and the race is the following day. ``I am very honored to have been asked to serve as the grand marshal,'' Manning said. ``I appreciate the grand tradition of the Indianapolis 500 and am excited to participate in the festivities surrounding the event.''
