The Memorial Day weekend will mark its 108th edition of the Indy 500 on the famed 2.5-mile oval, with straightaways as long as 5/8th of a mile, birthing speed traps, and making moves through the corner a cumbersome affair. Kyle Larson is eyeing his debut Indy-Charlotte Double, becoming the fifth driver to attempt the exhausting 1100-mile run.
The Full Field qualifying got done and dusted with Penske driver Will Power topping the four-lap run with his average speed of 233.758 mph. Meanwhile, the #17 Arrow McLaren Chevy fielded by Larson stood sixth fastest despite having engine issues during the first qualifying round.
Josef Newgarden is the defending Indy 500 winner and will eye to rake in another triumph. Moreover, the Penske driver is fresh off his season-opener disqualification after a scandal for cheating his way into contention surfaced and the officials stripped him of the race win.
