Pagenaud’s title week: New York, Star Wars, then another race car

Ahead of this week’s Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta where he’ll compete in the No. 31 Action Express Racing Corvette DP, Simon Pagenaud has made it through the first wave of media after winning the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series championship.

As you can see above, his round of media included a visit on NASCAR AMERICA on NBCSN. He spoke to Krista Voda about the year he just completed with Team Penske.

Pagenaud also posted a number of tweets about his week and the other places he visited:

Pagenaud and Team Penske celebrated back at Charlotte headquarters:

And then there was this in Sonoma, which was shot before the weekend of title clinching itself but may have given Pagenaud the “force” to succeed (see separate piece).

Pagenaud made a brief co-hosting appearance on “The Star Wars Show” presented by Verizon - his portion starts on camera at 5:40 in the 8-plus minute clip, with the IndyCar portion starting at 5:12 or so.

Besides Pagenaud, Gabby Chaves and Zach Veach are in the video, since both were driving the IndyCar two-seaters at Sonoma.
