(CNN) — Fresh off his “Saturday Night Live” ratings high, Justin Timberlake has scored another victory: The car sponsored by his William Rast clothing line won yesterday’s Indy 500.
“What a Memorial Day weekend! The William Rast car just won the Indy 500!!!!” the singer, who founded the fashion label with childhood pal Trace Ayala in 2006, tweeted yesterday.
Racing vet Dan Wheldon was behind the wheel of Timberlake’s car at the Indianapolis, Indiana, event and ultimately took home the Borg-Warner Trophy. For his part, JT couldn’t be more thrilled.
“Congrats to Dan Wheldon, the WR racing team and everyone else who put in the hard work for this victory!” he tweeted. “Unreal!”
