Straight No Chaser To Help Kick Off 2015 Indianapolis 500 (Recap)
. Jim Nabors did his final performance of the song during this year's Indianapolis 500, having given the traditional performance of the song 35 times since 1972. Straight No Chaser, which was founded in 1996 at Indiana University-Bloomington, are now set to continue the tradition with their rendition of the song during the pre-race festivities on May 24th. Indianapolis Motor Speedway president J. Douglas Boles had this to say, "One of the most cherished traditions each year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the singing of '(Back Home Again in) Indiana' and we are pleased that Straight No Chaser will join us next May to perform as we lead up to the start of the 99th Indianapolis 500. "Our fans have offered us many suggestions for who and how the song should be performed in 2015 and having a group with a national following, strong Indiana roots and a true understanding of the importance of this moment make them a great fit for next year's race!" Straight No Chaser was formed at Indiana University in 1996, and all 10 members of the current lineup of the group are IU alumni. -
