Indianapolis 500 qualifying is on, finally, as the entire 33-car field for the May 24 race will be determined today, May 17.
Rain washed out Saturday’s session at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, postponing all the work on the 2.5-mile oval to today.
There are three rounds of time trials: 33 cars will get one attempt each, with the top 12 advancing to the second round; the 6 fastest from that round will compete for pole position.
We will have every qualifying attempt and more, so please remember to refresh.
