IndyCar driver Pato O'Ward, officials shocked by ICE-related 'Speedway Slammer' post

Article content 'It caught a lot of people off guard. Definitely caught me off guard,' O'Ward said Wednesday. 'I was just a little bit shocked at the coincidences of that and, you know, of what it means. … I don't think it made a lot of people proud, to say the least.' Article content The post Tuesday included an image of a IndyCar-style vehicle with the No. 5 that had 'ICE' imposed on it multiple times similar to the display of a sponsor. It appeared to be a computer-created image, with the car on a track and a prison-like building in the background.
