Tomorrow’s Pole Day qualifying session for the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 is scheduled to take place from 1:15 p.m. ET to 2:15 p.m. ET. It is set to be broadcast live on NBC from Indianapolis Motor Speedway from 12:00 p.m. ET to to 3:00 p.m. ET, as the Bump Day qualifying session for this race is scheduled to take place from 12:15 p.m. ET to 1:15 p.m. ET.

That said, bad weather could affect when (or if) these two qualifying sessions take place, especially the Pole Day qualifying session since the Bump Day qualifying session was given priority over it in terms of fitting it into the schedule.
