Indy 500: Qualifying order for the 2018 Indianapolis 500

The qualifying order for the 102nd running of the Indy 500 has been determined. Find out who will make their qualifying attempt when tomorrow.

The qualifying order for the sixth race of the 2018 IndyCar season, the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500, has been set. It was determined by a random draw that took place after the Fast Friday practice session came to an end on Friday evening.

This random draw included two qualifying position selections for each driver, with one selection being for each driver’s primary car and the other selection being for each driver’s backup, or “T”, car.

Dale Coyne Racing’s Conor Daly ended up drawing the #1 qualifying position, but he did so for his backup #17T Honda as opposed to his primary #17 Honda. His teammate Zachary Claman DeMelo drew the #2 qualifying position for his #19 Honda, which was the highest qualifying position drawn for a primary car.

Even after James Davison’s wreck in his #33 A.J. Foyt Enterprises Chevrolet, it would appear that all of the drivers will be able to qualify in their primary cars tomorrow at the four-turn, 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval in Speedway, Indiana.

Tomorrow’s qualifying session is scheduled to last from 11:00 a.m. ET to 5:50 p.m. ET, and it will determine which 33 drivers will be in the field for the 102nd running of the Indy 500 and which two drivers of the 35 entrants in the race will be left on the outside looking in.

The qualifying order that was set in this evening’s random draw is the order by which the 35 entrants will make their first qualifying attempts of the day tomorrow. Barring inclement weather, they will all be able to make as many attempts as they want to in the time allotted to attempt to lock themselves into the the top 33 and preferably the top nine.
