The roar of engines returns to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as athletes of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES prepare for the 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. Enjoy the sights and sounds of May at the Brickyard while seeing your favorite drivers push their cars to the limit at speeds over 220 mph.
Don’t miss this day of pure speed! The fastest speeds during the Month of May will be on display on Fast Friday. In the final practice before Crown Royal Armed Forces Qualifying, cars will receive a turbocharger boost to reach the speeds they will run during qualifying the next two days, and sometimes even faster when turning laps in big packs. The practice charts will offer the best look at who might claim the coveted front row for the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge, and the on-track speeds will thrill fans.
Four intense laps, 16 perfect corners, 230+ mph speeds. Buckle up, because Crown Royal Armed Forces Qualifying will have your heart racing! A boost in turbocharger level will see speeds climb during Indy 500 qualifying. That means the intensity of Crown Royal Armed Forces Qualifying will be on full display from the start as drivers go all-out at incredible speeds to make the 33-car field for the 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.
Sunday, May 23 will feature two highly competitive battles – for the last three starting positions in the field of 33 and the pole-deciding Fast Nine Shootout to determine the starting order of the first three rows. Sunday’s action will be capped by a practice of nearly three hours that should serve as a preview of the Indianapolis 500. Cars will be trimmed in race setup and running in groups.
