INDYCAR Fast Six: What's trending in @INDYCAR from July 5-12
JUL 12, 2017
INDYCAR's "Fast Six" is a report derived from all things found online about Verizon IndyCar Series racing, its drivers and people. We seek and find pics and quips as INDYCAR drivers live their extraordinary lives and put the evidence on Twitter, Instagram and more. Check back regularly when we post the latest.
Riding in style
When you commute to Verizon IndyCar Series races from England, sometimes you have to use your motorcoach as your connecting flight to the the track. That's what Chip Ganassi Racing's Max Chilton and fiancee Chloe Roberts had to do before heading to Iowa from Chicago. Racing is a rough life.
Well this is a first.... when your 65ft American home comes and collects you from the airport! #trendsetter #maybenot

INDYCAR fans are the best fans
Iowa race fan Elena Davis will remember her favorite Verizon IndyCar Series driver for a very long time. She had Marco Andretti sign her series logo tattoo during the autograph session (much to the shock of Alexander Rossi) and then had the signature added as a permanent feature before Sunday's Iowa Corn 300. Color us impressed.

Spider-man's homecoming
Helio Castroneves visited the Team Penske headquarters near Charlotte, North Carolina, for the team's traditional victory toast in honor of his Iowa win. True to form, he even found another fence to climb in celebrate his first win since 2014. Eat your heart out, Tom Holland.
When @h3lio can't help but climb the fence at the office after his @iowaspeedway win, you let Spider-Man do his thing. 😂👏🏻#INDYCAR pic.twitter.com/mZN1W24z5N

Oh thank heaven for 7-Eleven
Tuesday (July 11) was 7-Eleven Day, so Tony Kanaan took sons Leo and Deco to a store near their home in South Florida to celebrate with Slurpees.

Presented without comment
JR Hildebrand has added some old-school flair on his 1960 Caddy, Rosie. We'd vote for the Big Eagle, too, if he'd run ...
Just seems appropriate. (Thanks AAR). pic.twitter.com/3tVAcG4fK5

An A-maize-ing photo
What has multiple Indy car wins, two series championships, two Indy 500 wins and 18 ears? This ...
