A second complete washout - and a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:third da✅y with no running during practice wee🃏k for the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway - has started to send driv𓆏ers and teams more than a little stir crazy.

The extended period of enforced inactivity has resulted in an outbreak of "planking" along pit lane that proliferated through social media networks and swept up Scott Dixon, Tomas Scheckter, James Hinchcliffe and Tony Kanaan, amon✨g ot✨hers.

The drivers and teams were getting up to some very strange antics, with Dale Coyne's British driver Alex Lloyd and Ganassi's New Zealand driver Scott Dixon teaming up on Twitter to spark on outbreak of the current Internet craze of "planking" - having a picture taken of yourself lying face down, arms by your side, in unlikely (and safe, please!) public settings.

's contribution missed the "public" setting and featured his effort in the front room of his home in Indianapolis, while 's contribution featured a painful looking pose across the handlebars and saddle of his mountain bike as well as a later group shot with the rest of the line up of ꧟EJ Viso, Takuma Sato, Tomas Scheckter and Kanaan.

showed that Team Penske were in on the fun as wellꦯ, while managed to balance himself on one of the front wheels of his Sprott Newman/Haas Racing car in the gar🀅age (well, the car wasn't doing anything else today after all), while went for both rear wheels and 's saw him balanced across the front of his car on both front wheels, which was arguably the most spectacular of all.

But in terms of most appropriate symb✃olism, it was hard to beat 's contribution of a simple "planking" photo opportunity lying along the yard of bricks that mark the start/finish line of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Depending on 💞your point of 👍view, either really hasn't got it - or has totally nailed the 'anti-plank'.

Dixon and Kanaan even reached out to the NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson. Kanaan sent a cheeky tweet saying, "We want to see you pull out a plank", to which Jimmie responded "I will work on something...it might take a day or 2 before I'm around a car," adding "I'm wonde𝔍ring how I can pull that off on a cup car??" while studying Dixon's own impressive bala🌺ncing act.

All in all, "Planking Day" was about the only highlight of a deeply dull and frustrating day for everyone at IMS. Weather forecasts are much improved for Thursday and Friday, but thunderstorms threaten the weekend when the two q🍷ualifying days - Pole Day and Bump Day𒁏 - are scheduled.
