Jorts at the Indy 500.

If you don't know what jorts are, it's probably for the best that you stop reading at this period. You probably won't enjoy what's coming next, but if you're still interested, click here.

Now, for those of you who know what jorts are and are still going to keep reading, godspeed. 

We can all agree that one of the hallmarks of any race day is an encounter with a good pair of jean shorts. Be they frayed, short, long, hole-y, unholy or any variation thereof, they’re plentiful at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 

Lady Gaga even came prepared, though it's probably safe to say her pair of black cuffed jorts cost more than most found at the track.

Lady Gaga greets one of the Pearl Harbor survivors before the start of the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 Sunday, May 29, 2016, afternoon at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

So we set out on race weekend to find the best of the best at the 100th running, and kept track of them using #500jorts.

Here's what we found:

1. The dual personality

This girl couldn't decide between stonewash and indigo wash, so she went for both.

2. Overall patriotic

This is a combination of all things 500 fashion: Overalls, jorts and American flag apparel.

3. Couple of jorts

It's a rare sight to have a woman wearing more clothes than the men out at the Speedway, but...here we are. 

4. Relaxed fit

This guy's doing just what his jorts want him to do.

5. Country Western patriotism

Can't top a classic like this.

6. Would you call these jortsveralls or joveralls?

Or jeansveralls?

7. Another jortsveralls sighting

Maybe these are real pants. They might not qualify for #500jorts, but we're including them anyway.

8. Jorts and Chucks

These ladies are wearing the official Indy 500 uniform, and doing it right.

9. Suspended jorts

Captain America doesn't need suspenders, bros. 

10. Love and jorts

They say romance is dead.

11. Romping to VIP

The jorts onesie is rarely seen in the wild. 

12. Pockets and nipple piercings

We've got nothing more to add. 

 

13. Jorts couture

Obviously, these are custom.

14. 'Merican jorts

It's in the Constitution.

15. Goodwill jorts

Well, these just make sense. 

16. Fashion jorts

They couldn't camouflage any better if they were...camo. (What "beer gut," Charlotte?)

17. Bonus: Jeans

Just jeans.
