Kyle Kaiser knocks Alonso, McLaren out of Indy 500
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Fernando Alonso did everything in his 力／強力にする to put McLaren in the Indianapolis 500. He drove flat-out when his car was loose, when it wouldn't steer and when it had a 穴をあけるd tire.
When his team put together a desperate final 体制／機構 and no one had a 手がかり（を与える） how it would 成し遂げる, he 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d wide-open into the first turn at Indianapolis モーター Speedway with 無 恐れる.
"I tried. I tried my best," he said.
His 成果／努力 could not 打ち勝つ the mistakes made by McLaren in its hyped return to the Indy 500. Alonso was bumped from the field by 23-year-old Kyle Kaiser in a 劇の last-gasp 企て，努力，提案 by tiny Juncos Racing. McLaren （機の）カム to Indy with every インチ of its car sold in 後援 and 保証（人）d to turn a 利益（をあげる）. Juncos Racing lost its two 最初の／主要な sponsors 権利 before 開始 day and spent most of this week in an unmarked white car.
Juncos was the underdog from the very start, and when Kaiser 衝突，墜落d Friday and destroyed the car, every one of Ricardo Junco's 従業員s worked through the night to put together a car for Kaiser to qualify.
"We worked 48 straight hours, we couldn't think straight," Juncos said.

Juncos all week has done everything better than mighty McLaren, the 決まり文句／製法 One team that 支配するd Indy in the 1970s. Kaiser was faster than Alonso every day, and while Juncos was able to 回復する 公正に／かなり quickly from Kaiser's 衝突，墜落, it took McLaren almost two 十分な days to get a car ready after Alonso 衝突，墜落d on Wednesday.
McLaren then begged and borrowed for 援助 all across the paddock, threw an 完全に new 体制／機構 on the car Sunday morning, and it dragged and 誘発するd along the 跡をつける on Alonso's first （競技場の）トラック一周. He had to 炭坑，オーケストラ席 for a 直す／買収する，八百長をする, got in just five more （競技場の）トラック一周s of practice, then rain ended the 開会／開廷／会期.
Juncos, 一方／合間, never went on 跡をつける Sunday morning in a 決定／判定勝ち（する） the team owner believes got Kaiser into the race.
"We decided not to practice that was a 重要な 決定／判定勝ち（する） because it 許すd us another four, five hours to work on the car," he said. Now his phone is buzzing, 可能性のある sponsors are lining up, and he 公約するd to have a covered car in next Sunday's race.
Alonso said he would be watching from home, and McLaren 長，率いる Zak Brown told The Associated 圧力（をかける） the team would not be buying out another entrant to get the two-time 決まり文句／製法 One 支持する／優勝者 into the race.
"We'll come 支援する fighting. We don't want to buy in," Brown said. "We want to earn it. Anyone can buy in. We want to get in on 長所."
The McLaren 行方不明になる is one of the biggest 失敗s in Indy 500 history. Roger Penske 行方不明になるd the show with Al Unser Jr. and Emerson Fittipaldi in 1995, a year after 支配するing the race. 統治するing CART 支持する／優勝者 Bobby Rahal 行方不明になるd it in 1993, and two-time Indy 勝利者 Rodger 区 never got up to 速度(を上げる） to make the 1965 field.
Gil de Ferran, the 競争 director for McLaren and a former Indy 500 勝利者, was gutted and わびるd about a dozen times for the team's 失敗. He also turned to Alonso and 直接／まっすぐに わびるd to the driver during a news 会議／協議会 some two hours after they had been 除去するd from the field.
"We didn't give you a ca r that was 急速な／放蕩な enough. You drove like the 支持する／優勝者 you are. We couldn't have asked anything more from you. I am sorry, man. You are an amazing driver," de Ferran said. "We didn't underestimate the challenge. We knew this was going to be a tremendously hard challenge. I've seen some incredible people not make the race so we certainly were very aware of how difficult this was going to be."
Kaiser bumped Alonso by .02 mph in the "Last 列／漕ぐ／騒動 Shootout" to 始める，決める the 33-driver field.
下落する Karam, who has been spooked all week and needed チーム仲間 JR Hildebrand to shake 負かす／撃墜する his car and check for 問題／発行するs, 決起大会／結集させるd Sunday in the shootout to make the field.
"This is probably one of the biggest 戦う／戦いs I've ever had to go through mentally," Karam said.
James Hinchcliffe, who was bumped out of the race last year and that in part led to this year's two-day 判型, 回復するd from a 衝突，墜落 in Saturday qualifying to also make it into the show.
Max Chilton and Patricio O'区, who both 運動 for McLaren technical partner Carlin, were 除去するd. Chilton is a 十分な-time IndyCar 関係者 and 新人 O'区, who was 急速な／放蕩な until he 衝突，墜落d in practice and had to qualify in a reconfigured road course car, has a 部分的な／不平等な schedule with Carlin.
Alonso tried to watch each driver make their qualifying 試みる／企てる on 炭坑，オーケストラ席 小道／航路 but was 群れているd by fans and マスコミ. He began 調印 autographs while keeping an 注目する，もくろむ on Kaiser, but once he saw the final 速度(を上げる）, he hopped on a waiting ゴルフ cart and was driven away.
"I don't think I can 包む my mind around what we just did," Kaiser said.
McLaren last raced in the Indy 500 in the 1970s but is 支援する this season to both help Alonso 完全にする his 追求（する），探索（する） to 勝利，勝つ motorsports' 見解／翻訳／版 of the ３倍になる 栄冠を与える and as a feeler for a 可能性のある 十分な-time IndyCar team. But the entire 過程 has been a 災害 from 開始 day because of 電気の 問題／発行するs, an Alonso 事故, a 非常に長い 延期する in 再構築するing him a car, a tire 穴をあける on his first qualifying 試みる／企てる, and, finally, a car too difficult to 扱う for Alonso to qualify in the 最高の，を越す 30 on Saturday.
