Jim Nabors Sings "Back Home Again In Indiana" 2010 Indianapolis 500

[MrSup2u]

Dude, is that Mario Andretti all geeked out in front taking video???

[XxSharpieItBlackxX]

Haha his voice still hasn't changed since I was little. I remember him singing this when I was really little.

[spaceballz12345]

When you hear Jim Nabors start singing you know its about to happen. My longshot money is on De Silvestro. Damn, I can't wait!

[claynpendleton]

This was almost a religious experience when I first saw/heard this in person

[jfsgro]

WHO THE FUCK WOULD VOTE DOWN ON THE SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT IN ALL SPORTS!

[jfsgro]

THE GREATEST MOMENT IN ALL OF SPORTS! PERIOD

[cragmac1000]

That gives me racing goosebumps every damn time and I love it!

I can't wait Indianapolis for the 500 it's your 100th anniversary, it's going to be a classic for sure. It's going to be one of those American racing memories you'll have forever and I can't hardly wait! "Gentlemen" it's almost time to: start...your...engines!

[jfsgro]

[nintendonerdgoodbad2]

[MaverickXSE]

[jfsgro]

@MaverickXSE AMEN BRO!

[cghoosier89]

It would be absolutely awesome if he sang Back Home again before the Super Bowl in 2012, in Indianapolis.

[catsmithyu]

Man! He's 80 years old born 1930

[Denvermorgan2000]

Not bad for an man of about 80

[TheCarterlawson]

im 15 and ive been to 13 indy 500s. and i have to say with out him it wont be the same without him

[getracinginfo]

@TheCarterlawson I know Jim is such a HUGE part of the tradition, he will be missed for sure. Keep going that's quite some record you'll have in time! Thanks for checking us out

[SmartBC90]

@TheCarterlawson Get over it, GIRL...A red-neck nut at 15...OMG...Get a LIFE! Can you read and write? Do you have a career in mind? A cure for cancer? Legal assistance for the poor? Joining Habitat for Humanity? Dear God, spare us from another self-centered loser, careers that do NOTHING to improve the quality of human life!

[moearly]

@SmartBC90 Wow. Manners?  She's excited and sentimental about a great singer who is a big part of the Indianapolis 500, a race that for many from the area holds a lot of tradition and meaning. Jim Nabors singing "Back Home Again in Indiana" definitely improves the quality of my life and is a tradition that reminds me of my childhood, my father, and stories my father has told me of his childhood including stories about my great uncle who died when I was in elementary school.

[mdhealy]

Jim Nabors still sounds as great as ever; this sure brings back memories because I got my BS at Purdue in 1982

[kingarthurup]

I love ya Gomer!

[MrNathan791]

Wow. what a special treat to hear Jim Nabor sing after all of these years. he still sounds good and he looks years younger than his 79 years. Gomer Pyle USMC,was one of my favorite shows growing up.that show still cracks me up when i see the reruns. This man is one beautiful soul and i wish him continued health and succees.

[kpo1303]

i cant wait for memorial day weekend every year, and the pre race is so moving with America the beautiful, Taps, and Back home again in Indiana.... i dont care care what daytona says or nascar for that matter this is truly the Great American Race!

[MurphyMonster]

@kpo1303 Dude, i am a NASCAR fan, but i have to agree, they could at least try to give some historical context to it, like singing The Old Folks at Home, Floridas state song(or was until a few years ago, until the word (darkies) got a little offensive for the NAACP, those suns of biches

[heathermarie0785]

my grandfather was head of security out there in the pits for 40 years. mr. george campbell. it would be a dream of mine to sing the national anthem there.

[BoilerByBlood]

I heard a neat rumor that Jim may sing this song during the pre-game ceremonies of the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

[gazork123]

One of my favorite parts of this race is hearing Jim Nabors sing this song. He doesn't sound like he's 79 years old, does he? Next year will be the 100th anniversary of the first 500, hope he's there to sing again.

[getracinginfo]

@gazork123 I've heard through the grape vine they may have been Jim's last year at the 500, lets sure hope not as this in also one of my favorite parts about the Indy 500!

[alanpeel1981]

@getracinginfo He sang this year and did a great job.
