IndyCar Pace Car Needs Fuel After Eight CautionsIndyCar on NBC / Twitter

Today's IndyCar race at Laguna Seca was a little bit of a mess. Eight yellows flew over the race, including a handful for crashes that actually happened in turn 11 before the field crossed the start-finish line for the next restart. That meant a busy day for the Civic Type R pace car. Too busy, apparently.

Yes, that is a pace car being re-fueled by a hand can in the middle of a race. With so many laps run under caution, the Civic apparently came close enough to running out of fuel that it needed an additional fill-up.
