U.S. astronaut A.J. “Drew” Feustel -- commander of the current International Space Station mission Expedition 56 and obviously a huge motorsports fan -- took to Twitter this morning to give a shout out from space for Sunday’s INDYCAR race at Iowa Speedway and Formula One’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Check them out:

A beautiful setting as viewed from @Space_Station for the iconic @F1 @SilverstoneUK. A cornerstone race in the heart of F1 motorsports territory. Ready for ‘Lights Out’ on Sunday! #BritishGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/DILyJVYIu3
