Although it didn’t happen in May, the week of the 2020 Indianapolis 500 is officially here, and after qualifying Saturday and the Fast Nine Shootout on Sunday, the field is set.
Marco Andretti, driving for his father Michael Andretti’s team, Andretti Autosport, will lead the field to green from the pole position after posting the fastest four-lap run Sunday of two minutes, 35.7985 seconds (231.068 mph). Not only is it his first Indy 500 pole, but it’s also the first time since 1987 that someone in the legendary racing family won the pole, following his grandfather Mario Andretti’s 1987 pole.
The lone non-Indy 500 winner leading the field this year, Andretti will be joined by Scott Dixon, the 2008 winner, and Takuma Sato, the 2017 winner, on the front row. Simon Pagenaud, Team Penske’s 2019 Indy 500 winner, will start 25th and on the ninth row.
The 104th running of the Indy 500 is Sunday, August 23 at 1 p.m. ET on NBC.
Here’s a look at where all 33 drivers will start:
