It's Haiku Tuesday once again, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved that the IZOD IndyCar Series was headed to an oval this weekend. Those right-turners and their chicane-ery...

Oh, fine, I admit that was lame. What do you expect? It was an off-weekend in IndyCar and if it weren't for the fact that we got that PR this morning about the oval and road course awards Randy Bernard wants to give out, the newsday would probably be about, oh, I dunno, something someone said on Twitter. Like maybe a headline such as, "GRAHAM RAHAL OBVIOUSLY HAS GREAT WORKOUT, BURNS CALORIES, HAS SORE MUSCLE BUT IS STILL RELENTLESSLY OPTIMISTIC."

Anyway, we have some poetry to slather all over you, so hit the jump for the "good" stuff.

Oval and road champs.
Fans pick names of the trophies.
Many Cogan jokes.

Endless workout tweets.
Seriously, everyone...
Keep your sweat offline.

Scheckter has a ride.
It is only for Indy.
But it's still a ride.

ICONIC panel.
They have so much expertise
In staying silent.

Off to the ovals.
Milka should be much faster.
She'll still lag behind.

It's almost May, folks.
I dream about the moonlight.
Yes, on the Wabash.

KFC's Double.
An edible heart attack?
Less than tenderloins.
