In news more shocking than the fact that The Amazing Race is still on television, IndyCar drivers Alexander Rossi and Conor Daly next year. The show is arguably most famous for a video of a woman catapulting a watermelon into her own face.

One can only hope that Rossi and Daly will suffer similarly hilarious fates.

Phil Keoghan is still hosting this stuff, too, and still sorry to tell teams that they have been eliminated from the race. What a wild day.

Daly and 2016 Indy 500 winner Rossi, who (), went up against earlier this year in the show known for thoroughly embarrassing people, like that poor woman who got a few years ago. The race still awards winners with the as it did when it , $1 million, which sounds like a good deal for the show considering that inflation is a thing.

(Hopefully Daly before joining this big world race, or these two probably didn’t last long.)

Team IndyCar will be in the 30th running of The Amazing Race, which means they found something with to compete in. Filming started on Oct. 1, about two weeks after , and reportedly wrapped up . Rossi, who hadn’t seen many episodes of the show before, called the race “an interesting experience” in a , and went to say that “it opened my eyes to what reality television is like,” which sounds like massive amounts of shade. That was after talking about how often the two had to sleep on the floor in airports, so it sounds like he had a blast.

The show premieres on Jan. 3, with Keoghan there to dramatically tell us all about detours and road blocks while wearing one of those necklaces he’s . This is a bigger blast from the past than a kindergarten yearbook.

Here’s hoping we’ll see professional race car drivers do some fun stuff like , , , or, if we’re lucky, get hit in the face with watermelons.
