Drivers are starting to go a little stir crazy with the inactivity - leading to several of them taking up "planking" as they waited out another rain-hit day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing has secured the backing of the HER Energy drink brand as sponsor of the #40202 entry to be driven by Alex Lloyd in next weekend's IndyCar finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

While Alex Lloyd does play guitar, the next logical step to the mushrooming attention lavished on his pink racesuit and helmet and the similarly-liveried #99 HER Chip Ganassi Racing/Sam Schmidt Motorsports car at the Indianapolis 500 is the launch of a related website.

There will be no missing Alex Lloyd as the Briton attempts to make his second IndyCar start - and second at the Indianapolis 500 - this month, after he turned out for his refresher in the bright pink HER-backed #99 Dallara.
