Tom Brady trolls Colts fans for booing him at Indy 500

FOX Sports rolled out the red carpet for its inaugural broadcast of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. Among its employees who showed out for the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” were Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Michael Strahan and Tom Brady.

Brady wasn’t exactly well-received by the fans in attendance during pre-race introductions. Brady, who rode along with Jimmie Johnson in the “Fastest Seat in Sports” ahead of the race, was showered with boos . Clearly, there were tons of Indianapolis Colts fans in attendance. And based on Brady’s Instagram story post from Monday, he was unbothered.

“PS: It was nice to get in one more successful drive in front of a bunch of Colts fans,” Brady wrote.

Brady had many successful drives against the Colts throughout his NFL career. Colts fans would love to forget, but the seven-time Super Bowl champion is here to remind them. Brady finished his career with a 16-4 record in regular season and playoff games against Indianapolis. The Colts and New England Patriots met five times in the postseason, Brady and the Patriots going 4-1. The lone defeat came in the 2006 AFC Championship Game.

Those Colts fans who attended the Indy 500 were forced to watch Brady take a lap around Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Brady knows they were probably hoping for a certain result.

“I’m sure there are a lot of Indianapolis Colts fans that would like to see me crash,” Brady told Jamie Little of FOX Sports.

Tom Brady helps kick off 109th Running of the Indy 500

Johnson kept her straight and the two made their way around the track in one piece. It, along with Strahan’s pace car drive, kicked off the 109th Running of the event. Three-time IndyCar Series champion Alex Palou took the checkered flag under caution for his first Indy 500 win.

Palou has won five of the first six races of the 2025 season. He looks well on his way to winning a fourth Championship.

“What an amazing race by the 10 crew, everyone at CGR, HRC,” Palou said. “I can’t believe it. It’s amazing to be here it’s amazing to win. I didn’t know if I’d be able to pass Marcus [Ericsson] or not but made it happen. First oval win. What a better place. Amazing. Best celebration ever.”
