What is the Driver’s Meeting?
The Driver’s Meeting is a private meeting that all drivers are required to attend and is conducted by the Race Director from IndyCar’s Competition department.
As he left his first press conference at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in May 2017, Fernando Alonso stepped on a motorized skateboard and quickly disappeared into the crowd, sublimely cool yet mostly unnoticed by fans milling behind the Pagoda in the track’s infield.

WHAT IS A PADDOCK?!?!
The Paddock is like the locker room by comparison to hockey, football, basketball or baseball. It is better known as the GARAGE area in the racing industry. Whenever the cars are not on the race track during an event weekend they will be found inside the Paddock. Race teams are assigned a space for housing each car and accompanying equipment, and the impressive, purpose-built transporter trucks transform into a fully functional temporary garage for race weekend.
