Largest batch of newcomers since 1997 prepares for Opening Day and rookie orientation.

Comment on this Story
“I'm not a professional runner, but I do run quite a lot for training purposes and I really enjoy it,” Viso, who could be joined by Indy Lights points leader JR Hildebrand, explained, "I think that participating in the mini marathon is a great opportunity to spend some time with the people who will be watching the race in a few weeks.

"When I get to the part of the marathon course that is inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, those will be my first steps on the track, and I think it is fitting that I step foot on the grounds in this way. I've only done a couple of 10k races before, and I'll be taking it easy, not looking to set any records.”

The list of Indianapolis 500 rookies taking part in the two-day orientation programme is completed by KV racing Technology duo Oriol Servia and Will Power, Champ Car veterans Ryan Hunter-Reay (Rahal Letterman Racing) and Mario Dominguez (Pacific Coast Motorsports), Dale Coyne Racing's F3 graduate Mario Moraes and St Petersburg winner Rahal. The American missed the season-opening oval round at Homestead and has just one such outing under his belt since his only previous oval experience, in Toyota Atlantics, while Dominguez will be getting his first taste of an IndyCar Dallara on Opening Day.
