IndyCar: 2024 Gateway qualifying updates, full starting lineup

IndyCar has run three oval races so far during the 2024 season, but this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is set to mark the season's first appearance of the traditional oval qualifying format.

The Indy 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway utilizes a unique qualifying format, with multiple four-lap qualifying attempts determining how drivers line up in the field of 33, and qualifying has its own weekend, rather than just an hour-long session the day before the race.

Then at Iowa Speedway, a traditional two-lap format is used, but because the track hosts a doubleheader, each driver's first lap speed determines the starting lineup for race one, while each driver's second lap speed determines the starting lineup for race two.

For this Saturday's 260-lap Bommarito Automotive Group 500 around the four-turn, 1.25-mile (2.012-kilometer) Madison, Illinois oval, a traditional two-lap qualifying format is set to be used, with each driver's two-lap average speed determining the starting lineup for the main event.

The qualifying order for Saturday night's race was determined by the reverse order of the entrant standings.
