IndyCar: 2024 Indianapolis qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course was added to the IndyCar schedule in 2014, and since 2020, it has hosted multiple races per season.
But for the first time since 2019, there is just one race scheduled for the 13-turn, 2.439-mile (3.925-kilometer) Speedway, Indiana road course layout within the confines of the iconic venue. The addition of the Milwaukee Mile to the schedule later in the season resulted in the track's second race ultimately being dropped.
Saturday's race is set to officially kick off the month of May festivities at the "Racing Capital of the World". It is scheduled to be an 85-lap race and is the fourth points race on the 17-race 2024 schedule.
After this weekend, the focus is set to turn to the 108th running of the Indy 500 at the track's four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) oval on Memorial Day Sunday.
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing swept the pole positions at the Indianapolis road course last year, with Christian Lundgaard taking the top spot in May qualifying and Graham Rahal doing so in August qualifying. What will this year's starting lineup look like?
