On the back of another amazing Indy 500, let's have some fun.

Forgetting politics, financial restraints, and other boring real world paraphernalia, what 33 drivers would you most like to see race in the 100th Indy 500 next year? In many ways it would be the ultimate race. I'll stick to predominantly open wheel drivers but any active, alive racing driver is allowed.

Here are my 33:
Juan Pablo Montoya
Helio Castroneves
Simon Pagenaud
Will Power
Scott Dixon
Tony Kanaan
Charlie Kimball
Graham Rahal
Marco Andretti
Ryan Hunter-Raey
Sage Karam
Conor Daly
Ed Carpenter
Danica Patrick
Lewis Hamilton
Fernando Alonso
Jenson Button
Daniel Riciardo
Felipe Massa
Jacques Villeneuve
Sergio Perez
Jose Maria Lopez
Takuma Sato
Jeff Gordon
Tony Stewart
Jimmie Johnson
Josef Newgarden
James Hinchcliffe
Simona De Silvestro
JR Hildebrand
AJ Allmendinger
Mark Webber
Matthew Brabham


For the record please don't think this necessarily has to be a naming the best 33 drivers in the world thread. I've made some obvious omissions if that were the case, some on the basis of having to the audacity to not only be boring, but German as well.

Everyone who qualified or tried to this year plus Hamilton, Villeneuve, Hulkenberg, Piquet, Di Grassi, Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Mark Webber, Sebatian Loeb.

[LuckyStrike1]

Everyone this year and none of the current F1 drivers.

I'd like to see as many former winners in the field as possible, plus a couple NASCARites (yes, Danica), plus something completely out of left field, like maybe Zanardi in a specially prepared Ganassi car...

 

... with yellow lightning bolts on it.

Mikey to get on a diet starting now and have one last crack at it.

Sounds good to me.  Heck, we all know that Mario would suit up in a heartbeat.

Get Jeff and Mario, Andretti can run a 27 car team for the month of May
