Former IndyCar champion Alex Palou had barely started his first live grand prix session behind the wheel of a Formula One car when he declared the feel and speed of the McLaren "insane."

Scott Dixon (4/1 at Caesars) and Alex Palou (+450) are the favorites to win this Sunday's Indy 500, but all eyes - and plenty of wagers - will be on a 46-year-old former NASCAR star who will be making his IndyCar debut at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. That'd be Jimmie Johnson, who's been bet down to 16/1 after opening at 30/1 at Caesars, which just…
