Fernando Alonso and Kamui Kobayashi Embrace Their Inner Rodney Sandstorm
Fernando Alonso and Kamui Kobayashi Embrace Their Inner Rodney Sandstorm-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:12

Oh boy, this one is going to take some explaining. Racing driver Jordan Taylor likes to have fun when he’s not being serious behind the wheel of his WTR Cadillac prototype racer. He’s an artist at harmless pranks, . This year, he’s co-opted teammates Fernando Alonso and Kamui Kobayashi into the fun.

In 2016 Taylor invented the Jeff Gordon-loving alter ego Rodney Sandstorm, a super fan. He’s been a sensation on social media ever since. Dressing up in an old Rainbow Warriors jacket, jorts, and Dr. Scholls dad shoes. In early 2018 the legend only grew when he broke into an on-screen interview at Talladega to request an autograph (on his shoe) .

This weekend, during IMSA’s test session at Daytona, Jordan managed to grab Formula One world champion Alonso and teammate Kobayashi to “dance” to Sandstorm’s favorite song.

Rodney Tormenta de Arena is the absolute icing on the cake. Well done, Mr. Taylor. You win the crown of weird motorsport Twitter champion for the weekend.
