The IndyCar Series has announced the final 33-car entry list for the 2017 Indianapolis 500.

Confirmation of 1996 winner Buddy Lazier’s Lazier Partners Racing programme completed the list of contenders for the 101st edition of the legendary race.

Lazier is one of seven previous Indy 500 winners in the field, along with Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya, Ganassi duo Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan, last year’s victor Alexander Rossi and his Andretti Autosport team-mate Ryan Hunter-Reay.

But the driver getting the majority of attention in the build-up has been an IndyCar novice with an illustrious pedigree – double Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso skipping the Monaco Grand Prix to contest Indianapolis with Andretti Autosport.

Practice commences on Monday, with qualifying taking place across both days of next weekend.
