Welcome to the greatest scene in the race.
The next two weeks will be filled with movement on the Indianapolis Motor Highway, which leads to 109 running Indianapolis 500Where 33 drivers will compete for 200 rolls on rectangular IMS 2.5 miles.
We hope to answer many of your questions here:
When is Indianapolis 500?
Indianapolis 500 is Sunday, May 25. Live coverage on Fox begins at 10 am EST time with driver’s introductions at 11:47 am, summons and national anthem at 12:18 pm, driving to start engines at 12:38 pm and green flag at 12:45 pm (all the times are estimates).
What are the dimensions of the path?
The path is 2.5 miles with Frontstraight and Backstraight per 0.625 miles. The four sessions are 0.25 miles each and each of the short sticks (one between 1-2 turns and one between the 3-4 turns) is 0.125 miles. 9.2 degrees banks are carried out. Straight standards are not manufactured at all. The offer immediately is 50 feet. The turn of the turn is 60 feet.
What happens during the next two weeks?
Here is a basic schedule (at all eastern times):
- Tue-FRI, May 13-16: Practice, back to 6 pm most of the days
- Saturday 17 MayQualifiers 1, 11 am to 5: 50 pm
- Sun. May 18: Qualifiers 2, 4 pm-7 pm (practice before at 1 pm)
- Monday, 19 May: Practice, 1-3 pm
- Friday, May 23: The day of carbohydrates with the final practice 11 am
- Sun, May 25: Indy 500 with green flag 12:45 pm.
What happens on Saturday, the first day of the qualifiers?
There are 34 cars inserted, with 33 drivers who make the field. Rehabilitation is the operation of four nights (one car on the track simultaneously). The qualifiers will be set by random clouds on Friday night. After each driver has the opportunity to go out on the right track (whether they went out at that time or not), drivers are free to operate them when they are ready. They can make multiple attempts, with those who give up their previous speed in getting priority in the line on those who want to keep their speed but try to go out and improve their time. Once the hour reaches the end of the session, additional cars may not start in the bosom of warm up to run.
Drivers who are ranked 13th and 30th on Saturday are closed in this field in those situations. This is the 5-10 rows (three cars per row).
To qualify, FS1 will be broadcast from 11 am to 30:30 pm, FS2 from 1:30 pm until 4 pm and then Fox from 4 pm to 6 pm
What happens on Sunday, the day of the six -scale of the Medal of Six?
The second day of the qualifiers puts the ranking of rows 1-3 and grade 11.
The 12th fastest on Saturday is a qualifying round starting at 4:05 pm with six fastest progress to a final round and the slower starting points 7-12.
Then comes the “casting day” part, when the four drivers who were on Saturday 31 to 34 will come out (they will likely do more than one attempt) from 5: 15-6: 15 pm-the three fastest sites will start from 31-33 with the slower “shock” dew 500 fields.
Fast Six will follow from 6: 25-6: 55 pm to set the ranking of the first six sites, including the pole for Indy 500.
It will be three hours of qualification on Sunday on Fox.

The day of carbohydrates is the traditional practice on the last day of Indy 500. There will be two hours of training, followed by a stop competition.

Only one driver, Tony StewartI completed all 1100 miles in one day. Only four drivers – John AndrettiStewart, Ruby Gordon and Court Bush – I did both race in one day.
