2011 Indianapolis 500 Day 5 Top Ten Planks

May 18, 2011 by Brian Groce

Day Five of the 2011 Indianapolis 500 practice at Indianapolis Motor Speedway consisted of no track activity, but a lot of “planking“.

At first I was wondering if this was some sort of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides publicity stunt, but as it turns out, planking is laying flat with your arms to the side.

So since we don’t have any speeds to report today, here’s our top ten list (plus a few extras) of today’s plank photos.

#10 – John Andretti

John's Plank

#9 – Wade Cunningham

Planking on the Yard of Bricks

#8 – KV Racing: E.J. Viso, Takuma Sato, Tomas Scheckter, Tony Kanaan

KV Racing Plank

#7 – Raphael Matos

Matos Plank

#6 – Will Power and Ryan Briscoe

Penske Plank

#5 – Scott Dixon

Indy Plank

#4 – James Hinchcliffe

Pole Plank

Wheel Plank

#3 – Arie Luyendyk Jr.

Crazy Plank!

#2 – Tony Kanaan

Bike Plank

Drumroll please…

#1 – Tomas Scheckter

Helmet Plank

Let’s hope the rain holds off tomorrow so we can stop the planking and get to driving!

What are your thoughts on planking? Leave a message on the Buzzline at 317-891-4627 and we might just play it on the podcast!

And if you’re up for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, catch us at the Traders’ Point midnight showing Thursday night/Friday morning…and yes, we’ll be back out at the track for Fast Friday!

    Has Arie Jr lost his mind? Isn’t that the spotter fence overlooking turn 1?

      You are correct on both accounts. I overheard him yesterday saying something about buying a copy machine that made coffee.

    […] Indianapolis 500 Day 5 was another washout, so we hit the museum and there was plenty of “planking” going on in the garages. Take a look at our best photos from the […]
