INDYCAR's #FastSix is a report that borrows from all things found online about Verizon IndyCar Series racing, its drivers and people. We find pics, quips and the occasional GIF as INDYCAR drivers live their extraordinary lives and put the evidence on Twitter, Instagram and more. Check back regularly for the latest.
Follow for a follow
In the latest segment of #TFW (“that feeling when”), Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver James Hinchcliffe details how much a follow on Instagram from Grammy award-winning musician Justin Timberlake would mean to him. If you are reading this, Justin, can you help a brother out?

Beast mode for all
Lululemon said it best below: beast mode defined. Schmidt Peterson Motorsports rookie Robert Wickens gave a shout out to the clothing brand for the workout gear that helps him stay in shape with a video of his routine at PitFit Training in Indianapolis. But, a beast mode video like this doesn’t go unnoticed, especially from fellow drivers, including Simon Pagenaud, James Hinchcliffe (who is featured in Wickens’ video) and Alexander Rossi, who each poked.
If there was a video that defined beast mode—this would be it.

A swap of champions
Tony Kanaan, Indianapolis 500 and Verizon IndyCar Series champion, spent the mid-season break racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Kanaan traded one of his helmets with none other than Formula One champion and 2018 Le Mans winner Fernando Alonso.
Gracias @TonyKanaan por el intercambio de cascos. Tendrá un lugar de privilegio en el @CircuitoMuseoFA un ganador como tú de las 500 millas y un amigo en las carreras! 👍 pic.twitter.com/RrEz5pMz2c
