Watch Marco Andretti and Dani Pedrosa go head-to-head at Indy
With MotoGP back on U.S. soil and IndyCar not racing this weekend, it was a perfect opportunity for the two worlds to collide.
And on Thursday, that is exactly what happened.
MotoGP rider Dani Pedrosa and IndyCar driver Marco Andretti met on the yard of bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for an epic showdown of two versus four wheels.
And to top it off, 2006 MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden was on hand to wave the green and checkered flag.
