I'm not sure I want to learn from them. If I had to pick one mentor (for the 500) it would be Rick Mears.
Mario had 2, but had the car give up on him after he had dominated the entire race.

They know their way 'round it, just haven't had much luck.

OOPS, just saw the post above. Total agreement. Now, whether Alonzo will have success in his first outing? I don't think skill is the issue, he has a month to learn the car and the technique. But it takes tremendous luck to win at Indy in addition to complete preparation. Last years rookie win came down to the stops falling into place. Its not just strategic genius, the chips also need to fall.
