In a bit of life imitating art, F1 driver Fernando Alonso will be pulling a Jean Girard (Talladega Nights) and contesting the Indy 500 this weekend.
He's doing surprisingly well, qualifying 5th of 33 in spite of never running on an oval till a few weeks ago.
Actual racing will be much more demanding than qualifying, but it should be very interesting.
