Helio Castroneves among those to watch not named Alonso

INDIANAPOLIS -- I don't know if y'all have heard, but Fernando Alonso is racing in the Indy 500 on Sunday. At least I think he's here. During Thursday's media day I was told the former Formula One world champ was there, but all I saw was a wall of cameras and tape recorders.

Meanwhile, I interviewed the other 32 drivers in the field with relative ease.

My ESPNF1.com colleague Nate Saunders has done an outstanding job of following the Alonso circus, jostling for position with his fellow Formula One visitors, nearly all attending their first Indy 500.
