The Month of May opens with the excitement of the INDYCAR Grand Prix, as the stars of the NTT IndyCar Series take on the challenge of becoming the king of the IMS road course. This family-friendly event includes driver autograph sessions and the chance to walk on the legendary Yard of Bricks during the post-race track invasion!
Bronze Badge holders must enter and present their Bronze Badge at the South Pit Gate or Victory Podium. Grid Walk exits will also be located through the South Pit Gate and Victory Podium.
The roar of engines returns to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as drivers of the NTT IndyCar Series prepare for the 103rd 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.
Practice for the 103rd Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge gets a boost as teams receive more horsepower prior to Crown Royal Armed Forces Qualifying. Drivers will reach 230 mph and faster during “Fast Friday” practice, the highest lap speeds of the 2019 NTT IndyCar Series season.
Saturday, May 18 will be intense with competitors battling for one of the 30 locked-in starting positions and a berth in the Fast Nine Shootout the following day. Each entry is guaranteed one attempt and multiple four-lap runs may be made as time permits. Cars in positions 10 through 30 at the end of first-day qualifying on May 18 are locked into those starting spots for the race and will not re-qualify the next day.
Order based on draw, top 30 locked in field at end of day.
Sunday, May 19 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.
Order based on original draw, one attempt per car.
Order based on Saturday times, slowest to fastest, one attempt per car.
Exciting action resembling the 200-lap race will unfold on track during an open practice for all qualified drivers. Expect heavy traffic and plenty of drafting and passing at race pace since this practice will be the longest post-qualifying on-track session for the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge field before Race Day.
