Graham Rahal with the self-burn
We were about to mute a hateful commenter on Instagram this week when it hit us … we know that guy! On a video from 2017 of Graham Rahal ripping up Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, we saw this reply: “Guy needs to hold the apex in the keyhole a bit longer. Missed his marks.... ” The comment was, of course, from Graham himself.

After showing his love for the Tour de France this month, the NBCSN telecast gave Team Penske’s Simon Pagenaud a nice shout-out on Tuesday.

OK, we knew Conor Daly was suiting up again for Harding Racing at Mid-Ohio, but in this ride? That’s sweet. Moms are the best!

King was ready for it, though: “The Bots are clearly out in force today.”
