Young drivers give IndyCar solid foundation

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Graham Rahal and Marco Andretti have all the ingredients the IndyCar Series has been craving. They have famous family names, have reached Victory Lane and seem to enjoy playing up their growing rivalry.

The bold, budding stars represent a whole new kind of IndyCar driver -- the guys and gals who could finally become this series' cornerstone fixtures for a generation to come.

"This is a pretty young group," Rahal said. "There are a lot of young people here who you could see at this track for the next 20 years. I think that's a great thing and we hope that's the case."

Alonso: Red Bull complaints due to frustration

Red Bull star Vettel finished fourth when Alonso won the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago to reduce the gap to the German to 17 points.
