Due to persistent rain in the area on Saturday, qualifying for the 110th Indianapolis 500 was moved to Sunday, making the event a single-day event.
Under the scheduling change, all qualifiers will line up starting at 12:00 pm ET on Sunday, based on Friday’s qualifying draw, and will have an attempt to record a traditional four-lap qualifying speed. The 12 fastest qualifiers will move on, while the other 21 drivers will occupy the 33rd-13th spots in the field for the 110th Indianapolis 500.
The top 12 will head directly to an elimination round, scheduled for approximately 4:30 pm Eastern time. As in previous years, the order of the Top 12 begins in reverse to the qualifying speeds of the cars’ initial qualifying attempts, starting with the 12th fastest car all the way to the fastest car from the initial qualifying attempt. Each car will have one attempt in this knockout phase. Those who finish seventh to 12th will occupy the starting positions seven to 12 according to their time and speed.
The fastest six will advance to the next round of Indianapolis 500 qualifying, the Firestone Fast Six, which will determine positions one through six.
Here is the qualifying order established during Friday’s drawing:
