How do you like them apples, Batman?
On May 26, the Greatest Spectacle in Racing will take the green flag -- actually, two of them -- as they waved from a pair of Hollywood's biggest stars. ESPN.com has learned that Matt Damon and Christian Bale will serve as the Honorary Starters for the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500. An official announcement is expected from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Wednesday afternoon.
This Fall the Academy Award winners will co-star in the auto racing film "Ford v. Ferrari", the story of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, when Texas car designer Carroll Shelby (Damon) was charged by Ford to concoct a racing machine that might finally end Ferrari's dominance of the world's most prestigious sports car event.
