The Indianapolis 500 is one of the biggest motor sports events in the world, and the 103rd running is Sunday, May 26 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It’s so much more than just an open-wheeled race. The Indy 500 is genuinely a spectacle, built upon decades of tradition.But one element that isn’t following tradition for this year is the format for qualifying.
The starting lineup for the Indy 500 will still be determined on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19, but the procedures for it look significantly different than in the past.And it’s a little complicated, so here’s a basic breakdown of what you should know before qualifying for the 2019 Indy 500 begins. 2019 Indianapolis 500 qualifying, explained How many drivers are there in the Indy 500?This might be the most important thing to remember about qualifying this weekend. There are still 33 available spots in the 2019 Indy 500, but there are 36 entries, which means that three cars will participate in qualifying but won’t advance to the main event next week.There aren’t always more entries than available spots, so sometimes it’s not an issue. However, at qualifying for the 2018 Indy 500, drivers and fans were reminded just how devastating it can be to get left behind on what was known as Bump Day — when you literally got bumped because your time wasn’t fast enough.Last year, and Hinchcliffe’s situation speficially over whether full-time IndyCar Series drivers should automatically get a spot in the big race. What happens during Indy 500 qualifying Saturday?The top-30 starting positions will be determined Saturday — sort of.
The drivers with the 30 best times will be guaranteed starting spots — based on their fastest four-lap attempts – but not all their exact positions will be determined until Sunday.Basically, positions 10 through 30 are up for grabs Saturday, meaning those who finish in that range after Saturday’s qualifying will have their official starting spots. The top-9 drivers will compete in another qualifying session Sunday to determine their order, and same goes for those in bottom six.The order in which cars will qualify is determined based on a draw Friday. So what happens at Indy 500 qualifying on Sunday?Bump Day used to be on Saturday and Pole Day — where the Fast Nine Shootout would determine the starting lineup’s front rows — was always on Sunday. Now, those two most impactful qualifying competitions have been combined and will both be on Sunday.The Fast Nine Shootout will still determine the pole winner and the starting order of the top-8. But it will now be accompanied by what they’re calling the Last Row Shootout, which functions like Bump Day did as the bottom-6 cars will compete for the final three Indy 500 spots.
What time does Indy 500 qualifying Saturday start?Qualifying practice is scheduled from 8 to 9:30 a.m. ET, and qualifying is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
But don’t worry if you don’t start watching right away because unless you’re looking to catch a specific driver, qualifying is schedule to last until 5:50 p.m. To determine positions 10 through 30. What time does Indy 500 qualifying Sunday start?Here’s a look at the full schedule for Sunday’s newfound drama.
