Kaiser, Juncos look to make Indy 500 history

INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Kaiser's comeback story began by bumping two-time world champion Fernando Alonso out of the Indianapolis 500.

He hopes Sunday's final chapter will be every bit as compelling.

After beating the odds during a topsy-turvy month, the 23-year-old Californian hopes to become the first driver to win the race from the 33rd and final starting spot on the grid.

"We've seen a lot of fairy tales at this track before," he said Thursday at the annual media day. "Why couldn't we see a fairytale this weekend?"

It reads like a Hollywood script.
