Titus O'Neil appears at the Indy 500 Snake Pit as the honorary Grand Marshal
WWE Tag Team Champion Titus O'Neil appeared as the honorary Grand Marshal of the Indy 500 Snake Pit held on May 29, 2022.
The mega event was a 500-mile race in the IndyCar Series at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana. The Snake Pit was also hailed by the presence of Martin Garrix and other musical artists, including deadmau5, Galantis, Steve Aoki, and Yellow Claw. Titus, who addressed the crowd just before the race began, took part in last year's pre-race festivities.
A few days back, when the WWE Hall of Famer was announced as the Grand Marshal for the event, he promised to add to the energy of the grand spectacle:
"Having the opportunity to return to this racing spectacle at full capacity as Snake Pit grand marshal is truly an honor. I fully expect to not only be overtaken by the revelry of this event but also contribute to the energy and excitement of the Snake Pit as race fans from all different backgrounds descend upon Indianapolis. It’s going to be electric!"
He enjoyed a lot of love from the fans at the Racing Capital of the World and took to Twitter to show his love:
Thank you @IMS for the Amazing @IndyCar experience for the 2nd year in a row. I was Proud to serve as your Grand Marshal of the #SnakePit @MartinGarrix @steveaoki @DaleJr @Miles_Teller THANK YOU ❤️
