After 35 drivers attempted to become one of the 33 drivers to make the field yesterday, the 33 drivers who qualified for the field are battling in two separate groups in today’s qualifying session at the four-turn, 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval in Speedway, Indiana.

The first of those two groups is for the drivers who finished from 10th through 33rd place on the speed chart in yesterday’s qualifying session. They will have one qualifying attempt each today to try to start the race as high as 10th. They are all guaranteed to make the field.
