Indy 500 Tidbits
The rain delay has given IndyCar Series drivers and teams some unexpected downtime today. Team Penske drivers Sam Hornish Jr. and Helio Castroneves have been spending their time relaxing. Hornish watched movies in his motorcoach, while Castroneves watched "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" with his crew in the Team Penske garage. Target Chip Ganassi Racing's Dan Wheldon was eating lunch at Honda Hospitality during the midday rainstorm with some Honda engineers while the Steve McQueen film "Le Mans" was being screened.
Medical update from Dr. Michael Olinger, IRL director of medical services: Indy Pro Series driver Tom Wood sustained a compression fracture in his back during a private test at The Milwaukee Mile on May 8. Wood is being transported to Indianapolis today and will be attended to by Dr. Terry Trammell.
Members of the Indiana Ice hockey team got up close and personal with IndyCar Series driver Jaques Lazier and his #21 Playa Del Racing Panoz/Honda/Firestone during the rain delay today. The players asked questions about the car, took photos and got autographs in the Playa Del Racing garages. The Indiana Ice is the primary sponsor of the Playa Del Racing car.
The color scheme on Milka Duno's helmet is fashioned after the helmet of Mika Hakkinen, the 2001 United States Grand Prix winner, who is one of her racing heroes.
