After Saturday's full field qualifying session for the 109th running of the Indy 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 18 drivers locked themselves into their respective starting positions from the fourth row through the 10th row.

While the drivers who finished outside of the top 30 on Saturday still have to battle simply to get into the 200-lap race around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Speedway, Indiana, the fastest 12 drivers are set to battle for the pole position for next Sunday's race.

Each of those 12 drivers is set to make another four-lap qualifying attempt on Sunday, in reverse order of their Saturday speeds. The fastest six drivers in that qualifying session are set to advance to the Firestone Fast Six and make another four-lap qualifying attempt, and those speeds set the front two rows of the starting lineup.

The drivers who do not advance to the Firestone Fast Six are set to start on either the third row or the fourth row, depending on their speeds in the Top 12 session.

Follow along with our live updates from the Top 12 qualifying session.

NOTE: Scott McLaughlin will not make a qualifying attempt after a crash in practice. Josef Newgarden and Will Power will not make a qualifying attempt after failing inspection.
