***2024 Indy 500 Thread***

Scott McLaughlin just set the fastest speed for pole ever at a 4 lap average of 234.220 mph.

Team Penske sweeps the front row.

Nascar's Kyle Larson qualifies 5th.

Hopefully will be an exciting race next Sunday.

That was awesome

If Indy gets a good CEO they could really start rebuilding the product. There are just so many things that need fixed. I think it’s starting to get on the right path though. It seems more exciting than it was a couple years ago

Few days away yet but weather forecast not looking good for Sunday:

I’m taking Will Power for the win. Would not be shocked with Newgarden. Btw I think Will Power should be spoken about with Hamilton and Verstappen. He’s that good

 

[BigJCy]

Looks like probably a delay to start and then MAYBE they have about a 3 hour gap or so to try and get the race in before the rain starts again.

I guess they don't do Indy in the rain?

Nope, but 230+mph in the rain would be something to watch.

What are the chances that Larson gets to run the race?

I would think the 500 is the priority today. Wonder if they can have a backup driver for the Nascar race.

Believe I saw it is Justin Allgaier. Larson is already qualified for the NASCAR Playoff so would think he stays for the Indy 500.

3:44 Green Flag scheduled

That's a good point
