IndyCar: 2024 Indy 500 qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
The order for Saturday's Indy 500 full field qualifying session was determined by a random draw on Friday evening after the "Fast Friday" practice session at the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval in Speedway, Indiana. That order can be found here.
Each driver is set to make one four-lap qualifying attempt to start. Further attempts can be made in one of two manners: risk or no risk.
Drivers can move to the front of the line to make as many attempts as they want to make, but they must withdraw their previous speeds to do so.
On the flip side, they can opt to wait in line to better their attempts without withdrawing their previous speeds. The risk lane is the prioritized lane at all times once all 34 drivers have made their first attempts.
The fastest 12 drivers in Saturday's session advance to Sunday's Top 12 session, and the fastest six drivers in that session advance to the Firestone Fast Six shootout for the pole position. All drivers who finish from 13th through 30th place on Saturday are locked into their respective starting positions.
The four drivers who finish outside of the top 30 on Saturday risk missing the race altogether. There are only three spots on the 11th and final row of the 33-car grid, and those four drivers are relegated to the Last Chance qualifying session for those three spots on Sunday between the Top 12 and Firestone Fast Six sessions. One driver will ultimately fail to qualify for the race, just like last year.
Follow along with our live qualifying updates for the 108th running of the Indy 500.
