What channel is the Indy 500 on today? Time, TV schedule for IndyCar Series race
The 2024 Indianapolis 500 will take place on Sunday, weather permitting, with a wealth of storylines up and down the grid.
Team Penske swept the front row and appears to have the top stable of cars heading into Sunday's race. Defending race winner Josef Newgarden of Nashville will start third alongside Will Power and pole sitter Scott McLaughlin.
Kyle Larson, the NASCAR Cup Series points leader and former Cup champion, will start fifth and will be planning on a 1,100-mile day of racing. Any weather issues could impact Larson the most, with his full-time job in the Cup Series and the Coca-Cola 600 scheduled to start a little after 5 p.m. CT at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Will any former champions like Helio Castroneves, Takuma Sato, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Scott Dixon come from outside the top three rows and contend?
Chip Ganassi Racing has been quiet throughout the month of May, with Alex Palou owning the best starting spot of the stable at 14th.
It's the biggest race of the IndyCar season. Here's how you can watch, follow the 2024 Indy 500.
