INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — IndyCar drivers love whole milk.

The American Dairy Association Indiana has revealed the milk of preference for each driver in the 2022 Indianapolis 500.

As per tradition, the winning driver chugs milk in Victory Circle after the race.

This year, 26 drivers said they would prefer whole milk if they win. Six drivers would like 2% milk. One had no preference.

Drivers are able to choose between whole milk, 2%, skim or having no preference.

The published list also includes a handful of comments from the drivers.

Nearly 30 years on, two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi is still getting jabbed for drinking orange juice after winning the race in 1993.

“No orange juice,” wrote Marco Andretti in the comments section.

Fittipaldi, who owned orange groves in his native Brazil, bucked tradition to the displeasure of fans.

Two drivers, Ed Carpenter and Felix Rosenqvist, said they would prefer buttermilk

Several more said they’d actually like chocolate and a few others specifically asked that the milk be cold.

Helio Castroneves, seeking his fifth Indianapolis 500 victory, commented that he would like “pink powder please,” perhaps in reference to his car’s pink and black livery.
