Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing have confirmed that Takuma Sato, who won the Indy 500 for the team in 2020 after winning it for Andretti Autosport in 2017, is set to return in a fourth Honda-powered entry for this year's running of the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" in May.

Sato is set to drive the No. 75 car at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, though because the car is the 34th confirmed entry, he, like everybody else, is not locked into the 200-lap race around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Speedway, Indiana oval. The field is limited to 33 cars, and nobody is guaranteed a starting spot.

As a result, the Indy 500 is set to see Bump Day for the third straight year, and there is still a chance that the entry list could grow to 35 for the first time since 2021.

Katherine Legge, a four-time Indy 500 starter who has competed in the race two years in a row, is still in the frame to potentially drive a Honda-powered entry. She drove for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing two years ago and Dale Coyne Racing in 2024.
