What are the Top Ten Reasons Ellen Should Visit the Indy 500?

In in their ongoing Twitter campaign to to get Ellen DeGeneres to the Indy 500, the peeps over at Sarah Fisher Racing are working on a Letterman Top 10 List.

Sarah is trying to get Ellen's attention to get a quote from Ellen for Sarah's upcoming book, and to host her at the Indy 500 to drive buzz for the race. Read more about this effort HERE.

Here are the ideas so far scooped up off the @ellenl2Indy500 Twitter page ...

Top 10 Reasons Ellen DeGeneres Should Go To The Indy 500 (read by David Letterman)

• Racecars can hold a better tune than early round American Idol contestants
• Martha Stewart is threatening to change the checkered flag to "a wonderful paisley"
• Because my mom’s dying to meet you
• 360,000+ more recruits in your quest for world domination
• An entire car company is named after Portia
• Because I’m going and we can car pool
• Because Oprah said so

And three I came up with:

• There are many fast women there, some of them even on the track
• Ashley Judd will be there and we need someone to translate
• A real female racecar driver, Sarah Fisher, has invited you, which is one more than ever invited me
• Unlike the Super Bowl, Leno won't crash and spoil the party

In the immortal words of Marty Reid, "pdog readers, you've got more?" Use the comments to give me your ideas, and I'll SHOOT them to Sarah, and we'll light this Ellen2Indy500 candle.

Two words: the Snake Pit. (Where wonderous, drunken merriment & hippo knife-fights happen.)

We're hoping you might inspire A.J. to finally come out of the closet.

Helio and Ryan Briscoe have a bet on whether or not you can get Roger Penske to laugh, and we'd all like to know what that sounds like.

We'd like to use you and Jack Arute as before and after photos - of what, we're not really sure.
