Alonso in the Indy 500 is kinda huge. Indycar (Sanctions the Indy 500, owned by the Hulman family)'s been on a upswing a bit in the US it seems. I go to one of their Oval races here practically every year. Great series.

I've actually visited the Indy Motor Speedway but not on a race weekend (I think they have 3 or 4, NASCAR, MotoGP, USAC are there as well.) You don't understand how truly huge the 2 miler is until you actually go, I think Turns 1 and 2 were the length of a football pitch by itself when I went inside to visit the museum located inside the track

He's not the only crossover driver, word's going around that current NASCAR Monster Energy (Top series, replaced Sprint as sponsor) points leader Kyle Larson could enter the Indy 500 as well. (Races for Chip Ganassi, a big time owner in NASCAR and Indycar)

NASCAR drivers have attempted to race both the Indy 500 and Coke 600 on the same day before. Kurt Busch did it in 2015, Tony Stewart did in the early 00s as well.
