To "hell" and back
You’ve probably already blown your New Year’s resolution to get in shape, but Simon Pagenaud hasn’t. The 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series champion has resolved to defend his title and is shaming all of us in the process with his preparations.

Racers in a winter wonderland
Winter came to North Carolina last week, giving Will Power a chance to experience snow with his new son Beau for the first time.
JR Hildebrand lives in Boulder, Colorado, so he’s used to winter conditions. It doesn’t stop him from hopping on the mountain bike for some riding, either.
Marco Andretti and friends used wintry conditions in Pennsylvania to do a little four-wheeling around the driveway of his house.
A Mayor to all citizens, even furry ones
While on vacation in the Caribbean, James Hinchcliffe saw to the care of the furriest and likely cutest citizen of Hinchtown. Beach life wasn’t for the pup and there’s no word on if further care of the “citizen” will now fall on Conor Daly, now that Hinch is back home again in Indiana.
Living large in La-La Land
Alexander Rossi is living the dream life in Southern California. The dream of a small boy, that is. Here is a recap of a big day out for the Indy 500 winner.
Having an ice cream cone while playing MARIO Kart before going to an Escape Room later. Best 10th birthday ever!!!

Got a case of the Mondays on a Wednesday?
Maybe life would be better for all of us if Helio Castroneves was our life coach. The three-time Indianapolis 500 champion provides a little “Monday Motivation” for us all.
