It's time for the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500!

Foyt Enterprises) and Jack Harvey (Dreyer & Reinbold Racing) were penalized after the fact for unapproved modifications, sending them to the back row of the starting grid. Alex Palou is aiming for Indy 500 greatness with the hope of back-to-back wins. He’ll start the race in the pole position.
