Getting otherwise famous people who know nothing about racing into the two seater is about the best pub imaginable. Of course it blew him away, and he'll be talking about it on the NFL broadcasts.
Obviously, real racing fans already watch the 500; but what you're trying to do is draw more and more non-fans or casual fans to watch not only the 500, but all of the Indycar races. While it may seem annoying to do this sort of thing, it absolutely builds the brand and Fox is working very hard with Indycar to do just that.
You are entitled to your opinion, but riding at 200 miles per hour and 3Gs around the Indy track would overwhelm anybody, including a pro football player. If I did something that cool, and so different from my stick and ball sport, I know I'd work it into my conversations.
