leading up to Sunday's race. Appearances in 13 North American cities began
today. Helio Castroneves, Dario Franchitti
and Danica Patrick today will "flip the switch" to turn the Empire
State Building green in honor of the race's 100th anniversary. Alex Tagliani,
James Hinchcliffe and Paul Tracy "will celebrate
Victoria Day with fellow Canadians in Toronto." Tagliani, Scott Dixon and Oriol Servia, who make up the front row, tomorrow "will visit many of the properties at
