Power, Wilson visit Louisiana to promote New Orleans race

Street musicians aren't that rare a sight in the French Quarter, especially on a New Orleans Saints game day.

But add in an Australian race car driver on drums and it becomes a sight to see.

2014 Verizon IndyCar Series champion Will Power, an amateur drummer, joined a New Orleans jazz band for a song following the Nov. 9 game between the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Power, who was in town along with fellow Verizon IndyCar Series driver Justin Wilson and racing legend Michael Andretti to help launch ticket sales for the inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana, joined a clarinetist and trombone player for the traditional "When the Saints Go Marching In."

Wilson, who visited Baton Rouge, La., for the LSU-Alabama football game on Nov. 8, attended his first-ever tailgate party on behalf of the event. Wilson was popular among the football fans who stopped by to get autographs. Several even told the Indy car race winner he shares a name a famed Cajun chef.
