The roster of talented drivers for Team Penske in both the Verizon IndyCar Series and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series prepared for a race of their own this week and it involved marshmallows and saying the words “chubby bunny.”
It is as hilarious as it sounds as IndyCar drivers Helio Castroneves, Will Power, Simon Pagenaud and Josef Newgarden were more than up to the task against NASCAR’s trio of Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney.
All in good fun as Easter is coming up, but the drivers took to this challenge to see who has what it takes in the ultimate test of skill, inflated cheeks and an abundance of laughter.

A regular on the racing scene since 2013, the journey for Joey started by covering a Grand-Am event at Circuit of The Americas in his home state of Texas. He has since primarily focused on the IndyCar Series, with appearances in the garages of NASCAR, paddocks of Formula 1, IMSA and World Endurance Championship, while also occasionally engulfing clouds of dust at the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals and select Supercross rounds. With previous stops at Autoweek, IndyCar.com, Motorsport.com and RACER, among others, Joey evolved from the singular task as a freelance writer to advanced roles behind the copy desk and alongside some of the best editorial teams in the business.
