Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady recently experienced a mixed reception at the Indianapolis 500, a prestigious auto racing event held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In response to being booed by Indianapolis Colts fans during the festivities, Brady took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the event. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to attend, stating, “What an incredible experience at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend.”

Brady thanked the Fox Sports team for organizing the event and acknowledged his friend, seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, for allowing him to ride alongside him as they led the race. His excitement was evident as he mentioned, “I’ll be back, and next time I'm driving!!!” Additionally, Brady humorously noted, “PS: it was great to get in one more successful drive in front of a bunch of Colts fans.”

The reception from Colts supporters is unsurprising, given Brady’s extensive history against the franchise, where he holds a notable 12-3 record during his career. His victories over the Colts, especially in the playoffs, have solidified his status as a rival in Indianapolis. This history includes a significant matchup in the 2014 AFC Championship Game, which was marred by the controversial Deflategate scandal. On this particular day, Brady was participating as part of Fox Sports' coverage of the race, where he serves as an analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
