IndyCar: Full qualifying order revealed for 2024 Indy 500
By Asher Fair
Following the conclusion of the Fast Friday practice session to wrap up Indy 500 practice week leading up to the qualifying sessions this weekend, the random draw to determine Saturday's full field qualifying order is set to take place at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
All 34 entries are set to pick a number, No. 1 to No. 34, to determine the order in which they will make a four-lap qualifying attempt around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Speedway, Indiana oval.
Drivers and teams generally would like an earlier draw, given the fact that the track temperatures usually climb throughout the late morning and afternoon.
Saturday, Sunday Indy 500 qualifying format explained
Saturday's qualifying session is set to see 30 drivers lock into the field, with the 13th through 30th place drivers locking into their respective starting positions.
The top 12 drivers are set to advance to the second round on Sunday, and the top six in that round are set to advance to the Firestone Fast Six to battle for the pole position.
The four drivers who fail to lock into the top 30 on Saturday are set to participate in Sunday's Last Chance session to determine which three drivers qualify on the 11th and final row. Like last year, one driver and car will ultimately fail to qualify for the race.
