Dozens of reporters covered his solo test, and speedway President Doug Boles said ticket sales are picking up. Alonso isn't coming to Indy to sell tickets; he intends to add the second leg of auto racing's triple crown to his resume. Alonso will be the sixth entry in the Indy 500 for Andretti Autosport, a team that includes Alexander Rossi. Andretti and his father, Mario, both expect Alonso to be a contender and the early results look promising. "It felt new to me and it felt a little bit, yeah, strange, driving anticlockwise and at those speeds," Alonso said.
