I think it is widely accepted that having Alonso in the race is good for IndyCar, good for Alonso, good for the Indianapolis 500, and good for American racing in general.

That said, a driver ahead of Alonso could have been suddenly and mysteriously disqualified or some other shenanigans. That didn't happen. It seemed like this kind of stuff used to happen in F1 a lot. I was complementing IndyCar on keeping their integrity despite pressure to do otherwise.
