IndyCar was not my first racing family. But Rob has been a part of my life for many years & now we’re in this family together. Hard to celebrate this win when his well-being is priority. From my crew & NAPA family, sending our prayers to Rob, Karli, his family & our friends atSPM pic.twitter.com/fpkdKYENsq

Helio … or Simon?
Though Helio Castroneves moved full time to IMSA with Team Penske this season, he made a stop in the INDYCAR paddock at Pocono Raceway last weekend. It was, of course, a great opportunity for Simon Pagenaud to dispel some rumors.
Here’s proof for you guys from the #ABCSupply500 starting grid that @h3lio and I aren’t the same person 😂 #IndyCar #twins pic.twitter.com/aFANWgQuyQ

Chef Marco
Marco Andretti took us inside his gorgeous home in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, to cook up some gorgeous burgers for Butterball’s “Whatcha Cookin’” segment on the NBCSN telecast.
Missed @MarcoAndretti grill up some delicious Truffle Turkey Burgers over the weekend? Check out @IndyCaronNBC’s video and learn how to make one yourself. Sneak peek: there’s turkey bacon involved! #whatchacookin #IndyCar pic.twitter.com/B1IrN5YXrL

Penske babies have the Power
Another installment of Team Penske’s “Driver Baby Photo” videos landed this week. And we got a surprising look at baby Will Power, who stumped everyone with his “mullet.” Seems like the young Will Power bears a most striking resemblance to his son, Beau.
In our final Team Penske driver quiz video, we embarrass @blaney, @12willpower and @danecameron19 by revealing their adorable baby photos. 🙈👶

Pralines n’ cream
While NBCSN racing analyst Townsend Bell was all about putting the Kardashian sisters down, he did it by comparing them to dessert. His followers got a little more creative.

Gridiron Jack
In addition to his recent stop in Oregon to chat about our upcoming Grand Prix of Portland, Jack Harvey of Meyer Shank Racing with SPM made a stop at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, home of the NFL’s Colts, this week.
