Alex Palou wins another race ... the Zoopolis 500?!
The Indianapolis 500 — aka the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" — where speeds are pushed to new limits each year, is set for Sunday. An almost as exhilarating, yet exponentially slower, spectacle was held Wednesday afternoon at the nearby Indianapolis Zoo: The Zoopolis 500. The annual race features tortoises going head-to-head, mimicking race cars as they dash, or trudge methodically, rather, to the finish line. The winner of the 2025 edition of Zoopolis 500 was a tortoise representing Alex Palou, a fitting result as Palou holds a comfortable lead in the INDYCAR standings. Palou, the IndyCar driver has won four of five races this season. Palou, the tortoise, is 1 for 1. Together, they are 5 for 6. On Wednesday, Palou the tortoise beat his competitors to the checkered flag, which sports a platter of food to lure the contestants. There wasn't an opponent in sight. While the running of the tortoises was the main draw, and a highly-anticipated battle each year, the Zoopolis 500 is an all-encompassing event. Spectators could admire the tortoises "star-patterned shells and learn about conservation efforts aimed at protecting the threatened animals." This upcoming weekend, the zoo will feature five giant Aldara tortoises in an exhibit space called "The Pit Stop." It's a family-friendly option for fans in Indianapolis for this weekend's big race looking for additional activities. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Violet Chachki says 'RuPaul's Drag Race' season 17 was 'garbage'
Come through! Violet Chachki's c*nty persona not only secured her the crown on season seven of RuPaul's Drag Race, but it's also helped her flourish in her sickening career. Beyond of her accomplishments in and out of drag, the star has also found herself a true sister in her friendship with season 13 finalist Gottmik. Over the weekend, the two were booked as DJs for the grand opening of The Tryst Puerto Vallarta and spilled on just how close they've become personally and professionally. "We really are best friends in real life. It's not for show. There's fights. There's love. There's sex. There's magic. There's everything you could ever want. It just feels natural to turn it like that for us," Chachki tells PRIDE. "It is once-in-a-lifetime! Who gets to travel and do this with their best friend? Does Beyoncé even have that? We're so lucky that we get to do this together and go on this journey together. It's insane," Gottmik adds. See on Instagram The duo has certainly come a long way since their respective Drag Race seasons, but Chachki has never been afraid to share her unfiltered opinions of the queens on The Pit Stop over the years. When it comes to the most recent season, Chachki didn't hold back when it came to her distaste of what was offered on the runway and in the challenges. "These new girls have no idea what I went through. I don't watch! My brain is full of things already. I need to make space for things I care about and Mik keeps showing me clips. Stop showing me this garbage! Stop showing it to me. My brain is full! I need to save the space I have for sacred things." To see the full interview with Violet Chachki and Gottmik at the grand opening for The Tryst Puerto Vallarta, check out the video at the top of the page.
