Good article. I've always recognized Alonso's talent behind the wheel but never really been a fan due to all of the scandals he's been involved in (spygate, crashgate, etc). He seems to have grown a lot though and I wish him well at Indy.

I lost interest in Indy racing years ago and am an avid F1 fan. I was glued to the DVR to watch indy qualifying. So happy for Alonso! Can't wait to watch Monaco and Indy next weekend. Great for the auto racing sport!

I don't normally watch the Indy 500. But I will be watching it this year.

Vamos Fernando.

Wow. Dixon was lucky. Things can go south in a big way at 230mph.
