Let's hope that the month of May precipitation is all out of the way now.
While we tried to fool ourselves into thinking cars had a chance to be on track Saturday for Indy 500 qualifying, the forecast actually proved accurate, and the only real surprise was the fact that it took nearly five hours after the scheduled start of qualifying (and seven and a half hours after the scheduled start of practice) for IndyCar to call it off due to rain.
As a result, a shortened version of qualifying for the 110th running of the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" is set to take place on Sunday, although Sunday is still set to be action-packed around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval.
Perhaps more importantly, rain is not expected in Speedway, Indiana.
All 33 drivers on the entry list are each set to make one single four-lap qualifying attempt, beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET. However, each driver is now limited to only one run; there is no fast lane/slow lane redo process like there would have been had Saturday's session not been rained out.
This round is set to determine 13th to 33rd on the starting grid for next Sunday's 200-lap race, as only the top 12 drivers are set to advance. There is no more second round featuring the 10th to 15th place drivers. Each of the top 12 is set to make another run to set positions seventh through 12th and determine the Firestone Fast Six.
The Firestone Fast Six is set to determine the front two rows of the grid, once again via four-lap qualifying efforts.
A full qualifying order, which was determined by the traditional post-Fast Friday random coin draw, can be found here.
