The scoop on driver favorite flavors in celebration of National Ice Cream Day
JUL 18, 2015
July 19 is an off day for Verizon IndyCar Series drivers, and in honor of National Ice Cream Day they’ll make it a point to partake.
Several chains will be doling out free scoops and giveaways.
A sampling of favorites:
Graham Rahal – “A chocolate M&M milkshake at Steak ‘n Shake. And if I weren’t having a chocolate M&M Steak ‘n Shake milkshake, Graeter’s ice cream in Columbus, Ohio, a ‘Buckeye Blitz.’ A little chocolate and peanut butter.”
Justin Wilson – “I’d really like a 99, which is an English treat. It’s a cone with soft serve ice cream, usually vanilla, into which a Flake (chocolate) bar has been inserted. Normally, for me, it’s chocolate with chocolate bits and nuts.”
Tristan Vautier – “For me it’s a cone with about five scoops. Always vanilla and add pistachio, caramel, coconut and coffee.”
Sage Karam – I went to Culver’s last night and had a banana split. Maybe (July 19) I’ll go to Cold Stone (Creamery) and maybe have a chocolate fudge. I like chocolate.”
Ryan Hunter-Reay -- “I really like cookies and cream, I always have. I’m a sucker for Oreos. I’ll have to take the kids (for ice cream).”
Ryan Briscoe -- “Chocolate chip, that’s my go-to. Might throw some sprinkles on top … in a waffle cone.”
Sebastien Bourdais – “I like the waffle cones and I really like mint chocolate chip.”
