We thought it would be fun for our blog readers if we emailed the drivers and asked them some questions they may not have answered before.
The very first driver to email us back was Indy 500 rookie Tristan Vautier.
THANK YOU TRISTAN!
So here's some things we found out about Tristan when he answered our questions.
* He has two cats back home in France that his mom takes care of for him since he travels so much.
* If he was stranded on a desert island with a fellow driver, he would choose his girlfriend Alya Agren, who races in the F1600 Series (that's pretty cool). If it couldn't be her, he would choose his best friend , and former teammate, Mikael Grenier, who races Indy Lights.
* His worst habit is wanting all of his stuff symmetrical and put a certain way.
* His least favorite chore as a kid was cleaning the dishes, although he said he would usually find a way out of it. (Our next question should be how he got out of chores, we could use ideas.)
* When he was little, he said that his favorite stuffed animal was a black panther, but he lost it when he was four and it took him a year to get over it.
And some other stuff you just might not know about Tristan.
* He first got in a kart at age 4 and entered his first race at age 10
* He's from France
* He won the Indy Lights Championship as a rookie in 2012 and won the Star Mazda Championship in 2011
* He's one of four rookies trying to make the 2013 Indy 500
* His teammate at Schmidt Peterson Motorsports is a fellow Frenchman, Simon Pagenaud
