Planking Invades IMS
The constant rain and chilly temperatures have forced the stars of the IndyCar Series to find a way to kill some time. A few have resorted to the recent Australian-created fad known as "planking". Wikipedia defines planking as "the action of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, in unusual public spaces and photographing it." This news video shows just how popular it has become in a short time.
When defending Freedom 100 winner Wade Cunningham tweeted a link to the video above, it became an instant hit throughout the IndyCar paddock. Drivers such as Scott Dixon and Ryan Briscoe immediately began plotting prime planking spots.
During the rain delay on Wednesday, pictures started flowing in on Twitter. Below are some of the greatest planks that have taken place at IMS, so far.
