I don't believe he did anything like that. He is remarkable only for having his picture taken while seated in the car, as far as far as I know.

How to spark an answer... ???

Perhaps the race car behind might be a lead to follow.

Perhaps I should turn off the faucet of clues for today.

Well, it's either a Kohler K-10416-BN Fort˝ Single Control Kitchen Faucet with Side Spray...

...or...

It's a "tap"?
