It is here that we should note that cars qualify for the Indianapolis 500, not drivers. That means that if a particular driver is injured ahead of the race itself, someone else can slide into their car, even if they did not qualify themselves in another car.

Indianapolis 500 practice goes without a weather delay, allowing drivers to test in race and qualifying set-ups.
