Flirty Fernando
After announcing his plan to move away from Formula One in 2019, Fernando Alonso is stirring the pot on Twitter. He responded to our post about his 2017 Indy 500 run with an eyebrow-raising GIF.
The invite still stands to join us next season, Fernando.

Good guy Graham
Graham Rahal announced two $100,000 donations this week from his charitable foundation, with the money to benefit military veterans and the Colorado State University Animal Cancer Center. Another impressive gesture from the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver who has shown his dedication to worthy causes many times over.
Wow! Thank you @GR_Foundation for your amazing gift to help us find better treatments for both pets and people with cancer!!! #onecanceronecure #thankyou

Getting (a little too?) into golf
Conor Daly was watching this weekend as Tiger Woods put together an ageless performance to make a run at the PGA Championship title. Daly, like pretty much everyone else, couldn’t help cheering for Woods.
I have never shouted at my TV while golf is on, until today. @TigerWoods #PGAChampionship2018 pic.twitter.com/vRYYoYNfEp

🐅 is back. Love watching this game, but even more so when the man is in contention. 2019 will be awesome.

Shoot your shot
He’s not the best shooter in the room, but Simon Pagenaud really knows how to talk smack and celebrate. Just look at this fist pump during the latest edition of the Penske Games videos! Like he’s in victory lane.
"Even though you have those big ears, don't listen to them." @h3lio to @rickytaylorrace 😂

Badass T-shirts
Stefan Wilson shared his new website this week, including a shop where fans can buy a shirt that celebrates Stefan and his late brother, Justin Wilson. They’re the first pair of brothers to lead a lap in the Indianapolis 500.
Justin, one of the most genuinely liked and respected drivers in the paddock, was affectionately known as “Badass Wilson” for his driving prowess.
I promised some news today. Check out my new website at https://t.co/ijwkxhilQW, also, we now have a store https://t.co/BDSs69GnJP with some available fan T-Shirts (some are benefiting the Wilson Children’s Fund). Thanks for checking it out 👍 pic.twitter.com/0VGYvIGptk
