The entry list for this year’s running of IndyCar’s most prestigious race, the Indianapolis 500, has been set. Which 36 drivers will attempt to qualify for it?

With Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports confirming that Oriol Servia will be their third IndyCar driver for the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway later this month and with Indianapolis Motor Speedway having confirmed that the entry list for this race will feature 36 drivers, the entry list has been set.

Servia was the 36th and final driver to be confirmed for this year’s running of the 200-lap race around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval in Speedway, Indiana.

Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports confirmed that Servia will drive the #77 Honda in a partnership with Team Stange Racing as a teammate to full-time drivers James Hinchcliffe and rookie Marcus Ericsson in this year’s running of the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” just over one week after Juncos Racing confirmed that Kyle Kaiser is set to drive the #32 Chevrolet in this race.

With 36 drivers set to attempt to qualify for this race, three drivers will end up being bumped from the field to preserve the 33-car tradition at the Brickyard. Of these 36 drivers, 20 are full-time drivers while 16 are part-time drivers. Of these 16 part-time drivers, eight are set to compete in and/or have competed in at least one other IndyCar race this season while eight are Indy 500 one-offs.

Here is a list of the 36 drivers representing 16 different teams who are set to attempt to qualify for the 103rd running of the Indy 500. Expect an official entry list for the race to be released at a future date, likely next week before practice begins.
