Fernando Alonso has his engine for the 2019 Indianapolis 500.

The two-time Formula 1 champion will compete in his McLaren Racing entry, according to a release, with a Chevrolet 2.2 liter, twin turbocharged, direct injected, V6, IndyCar engine. Chevrolet powered Will Power's 2018 Indy 500 win, as it did Juan Pablo Montoya's in 2015 and Tony Kanaan in 2013.

“Having Chevrolet power behind me means we’re putting ourselves in the best possible position to compete at the front," Alonso said in a release. "I had a bit of a taste of Chevy power last week in Jimmie Johnson’s NASCAR and I liked it! The opportunity to contest any Indy 500 is an honor, so I’m proud to have Chevrolet as part of the team.”

Alonso, who competed in the 2017 Indy 500 but didn’t finish because his Honda engine failed, won his Formula 1 titles in 2005 and 2006.

He won the 24 Hours of Le Mans earlier this year and so, with his win at Monaco in 2006, would join Graham Hill as the only drivers to win all three if he crossed the finish line first next year.

"Fernando brings incredible driving talent, and a passion for the sport and winning the biggest races in the world," Chevrolet U.S. Vice President of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports Jim Campbell said in the release. "When Fernando is on track, it’s electric. He generates excitement among fans everywhere."
