KO made a conscious choice to wear what he did. JJ offered to bring out a "throw back" VW powered car for him next year and KO said to put a single hoop on it and he'd drive it.

He was making a statement in his own goofy way. Personally I wouldn't allow my driver to race dressed like that but I think the man has accomplished enough for long enough to earn the right to make his own choices. I applaud him for having the balls to do it.
