The free publication is available at retailers around Indianapolis.
CNBC filming ethanol special: A crew from CNBC is at Kansas Speedway this weekend recording material for a special on the IndyCar Series' use of ethanol that will air on Carb Day, May 25, two days before the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500. The crew has interviewed IndyCar Series drivers Marco Andretti, Sam Hornish Jr., Danica Patrick, Scott Sharp and Jeff Simmons.
Wheldon, Simmons preen at Us Hot Hollywood Style party: As Gene Simmons walked the gold carpet at the Us Hot Hollywood Style party April 26 with Dan Wheldon, the rock icon turned to the IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500 champion and said, "Cue the smile," just before entering a dazzling array of camera flashes and lights.
The Briton and the bassist for KISS joined other "A List" celebrities for the soiree at the LA club Sugar. The party honored Us Weekly's Style Icon of the Year Jennifer Lopez, who lived up to the award in a white Ralph Lauren pantsuit and Versace shoes.
"There obviously were a lot of beautiful women there," said Wheldon, who declined to provide a top 10 list.
Past winners of the magazine's annual style award have included Jessica Alba and Jessica Simpson. In addition to handing out a top prize, the magazine also singled out seven men and women for their fashion sense, dubbing them the "Hot 7 in '07."
Wheldon was interviewed for "Extra," "Entertainment Tonight," and "Access Hollywood" among other syndicated shows and periodicals.
Wheldon, who was scheduled to fly to Kansas City early April 27 for the start of his race weekend in the No. 10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing car, had to leave the club before the party really got rolling. There was time to mingle and hang out with ("American Idol" host) Ryan Seacrest, ("Sopranos" star) Jamie Lynn Siegler and Simmons.
"The event was a lot of fun. Everybody was there."
