Jim Nabors absent at Indy

Actor/singer Jim Nabors says tradition is one of the things that make the Indianapolis 500 great. And for roughly 30 years, Nabors himself has been part of it.

Jim Nabors won't be "back home again" in Indiana this weekend.

For only the seventh time since 1972, Nabors won't sing "(Back Home Again in) Indiana" before the Indianapolis 500. An illness is forcing him to miss Sunday's race.
