Driving Houston's Loop with Indy driver
Ryan Hunter Reay took Don Nelson on a trip around the city, a little slower than his usual speed

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- This year's Indy 500 is this coming Sunday, and Don Nelson got a chance to see what it's like to ride with one of the top racers.

Ryan Hunter-Reay is currently ranked number two in the Indy Series. But today, it was a much slower ride around the loop to preview what fans can expect.

Don did get a chance to challenge Hunter-Reay's driving skills in a parking lot. The Indy car driver even proved he can parallel park.

Hunter-Reay hopes to win on Sunday. You'll be able to watch the race live on ABC-13 beginning at 10:00 am on Sunday, May 25th. You can also watch the race live though our WatchABC app. Get it here for your smartphone or tablet.

After the Indy 500, Hunter-Reay says he'll start getting ready for the Grand Prix of Houston. The three day event runs from June 27 until June 29 at NRG Park. Tickets are on sale now at grandprixofhouston.com.
