It’s time for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500! This weekend will be the busiest of the year for motorsports fans with the Indy 500, Monaco Grand Prix and Coca-Cola 600 all racing on the same day. But the Indy 500, often called the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” will likely dominate headlines and TVs across the country. This year’s Indy 500 is officially sold out too. Ahead of the big race, the Indy 500 field was shaken up when defending champ Josef Newgarden and his fellow Penske teammate Will Power were both found to have an illegally modified spec part on their cars. As a result, both drivers have been bumped to the back of the field (32nd and 33rd). Newgarden is attempting to become the first Indy 500 driver to win three consecutive years in a row — but no driver has ever won the Indy 500 starting from the last row.
Are you ready to see what happens down at The Brickyard this year in the wake of all that scandal? The action is already underway, with the final day of practice and Pit Stop Challenge this Friday. Here’s everything you need to know to tune in to the Indy 500 in 2025.
