Fernando Alonso and the 101'st Indianapolis 500

Here Comes Fernando Alonso, crossing one off his bucket list.

Today after his first test of an Andretti Autosport Indy car at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Fernando Alonso said his mind told him he could enter turn 1 flat out. He said to himself, "I'm going to enter turn 1 flat out. I know the car will do it." But his foot had a mind of it's own and that first time, the foot lifted. At the press conference Nando laughed and said after a couple laps he was able to do the corner flat out.

Alonso, the 2-time Formula 1 Champion will drive an Indy car in this year's Indy 500.

What a great infusion of passion and glory to the Greatest Spectacle in Motorsports, The Memorial Day Classic the Indianapolis 500.
