They can drive a sophisticated piece of equipment at 220+ mph, but can IndyCar drivers fix a toilet?

The IndyCar drivers don't hold back as they talk with Dave Calabro over Milk & Cookies.

INDIANAPOLIS — As IndyCar drivers return to the track, another May tradition returns to 13News.

13 Sports director Dave Calabro spent a little time talking to the drivers over some Milk & Cookies.

While the drivers can take their cars at 220+ around the track ... just don't ask them to fix anything.

Are you a handyman? 

Hélio Castroneves: I can ... not in a good way. Adriana calls "Helio nothing." It's like, I'm going to do it ... but it's nothing works.

Scott McLaughlin: Anything to do with a toilet, I'm bad with. Just doesn't do anything for me. The hardest thing for me as well is ... I'm a bit lazy as well. So I'll just call someone to do it for me.

Ed Carpenter: Back in '06, I was sponsored by Hitachi power tools, and they gave me all sorts of stuff ... so put it to use. 

Graham Rahal: I don't want to touch electrical wires and stuff. Every time I'm standing up there, like just waiting for the zap.

Álex Palou: No. I don't know if I can fix stuff. I can't.

Dave: You can do electrical work?

Alexander Rossi: I've shocked myself a lot, so I've learned to turn off the power before I start doing it.

Will Power: I can, but I don't. I can do it, but I don't.

Pietro Fittipaldi: I'm a terrible handyman, and I think that's because my dad is very good at it and does everything at home. So, that makes me very bad. So, not that I'm untalented, I just haven't been putting into practice.

Marcus Ericsson: I'm terrible. I'm terrible handyman. So, it's something that uh ... yeah ... I need to be better at.

Dave: You can't do simple things?

Ericsson: I can't do anything. It's bad ... it's really bad.

Christian Lundgaard: Oh yeah, I'm in everything, man. My dad taught me how to use my hands because my mom couldn't. Sorry, mom.
