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.
9:45 a.m.: There aren’t many takers. The Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing teams are content to wait until qualifying to get on-track, according to the Fox Sports broadcast.
On Fast Friday, Penske drivers Scott McLaughlin (1st), David Malukas (9th) and two-time race champ Josef Newgarden (14th) fared well on no-tow laps (qualifying conditions). CGR drivers were 2nd (Alex Palou), 11th (Scott Dixon) and 23rd (Kyffin Simpson).
(Each driver will get one 4-lap attempt starting at noon ET; the session should last approximately 3 hours)
(All times ET; all IndyCar sessions are on IndyCar Live, IndyCar Radio, Sirius XM Channel 218 and the Fox One app)

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Bottleworks District has announced two new additions to its growing retail and dining lineup: Amorino Gelato Al Naturale and Bobbles & Lace Indianapolis.
Amorino Gelato Al Naturale will bring an upscale Italian-style dessert experience to the district, featuring handcrafted gelato, signature flower-shaped presentations, warm desserts, and premium beverages in an elegant boutique setting.
Owner Sal Abci said Bottleworks District’s vibrant atmosphere and experience-focused visitors made it the ideal location for the brand’s Indianapolis debut.
Bobbles & Lace is a boutique that offers personalized, styling-focused fashion experiences centered on accessible luxury and community. Owner Amanda Logan-Athmer said the energy and destination appeal of Bottleworks aligned perfectly with the boutique’s vision as it enters the Indianapolis market.
Bottleworks says the new additions are set to open later in 2026.
Scott Pruden, senior vice president of leasing at Hendricks Commercial Properties and Bottleworks District, said both businesses will bring fresh concepts to the district’s evolving retail and dining scene along the historic Mass Ave corridor.
Bottleworks District, a redeveloped Coca-Cola bottling plant, has become one of the Midwest’s premier mixed-use destinations, featuring hotel accommodations, restaurants, entertainment, office space, and retail.
It’s time to qualify for the 110th Indianapolis 500 (weather permitting). Time trials are scheduled today, May 16, and Sunday, 17, on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval.
Thunderstorms are forecast for today, and if qualifying is washed out, Sunday’s sessions will be long and even more tense.
With 33 entrants guaranteeing a spot for everyone in the May 24 race, there is no bumping this year, and race officials have made changes reflecting that.
We will have weather and qualifying updates all day, so remember to refresh.
8:30 a.m.: Showers are falling at IMS, washing out the 1-hour full-field practice session.

Rookie Robert Shwartzman of Prema Racing stunned the field by winning the Fast Six. He lost his brakes entering his pit stall during the race, running into some crew members (none was seriously hurt) and finishing 26th. Shwartzman is not entered this year.
Rick Mears won six (1979, ’82, ’86, ’88, ’89, ’91). Scott Dixon (2008, ’15, ’17, ’21, ’22) will try to match Mears.
Arie Luyendyk had a 4-lap run of 236.986 mph, with his best lap at 237.498, in 1996. However, because of the rules at the time, his blistering second-day (of four) run did not earn him the pole position.
