Rain wipes out Indy 500 practice, delays qualifying
Fans move through the rain Friday, May 15, 2026, before Fast Friday practice ahead of the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Rain washed out morning practice and delayed Saturday's qualifying session for the May 24 Indianapolis 500.
The IndyCar Series canceled the full-field practice session scheduled for 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. ET.
The 11 a.m. start for the time trials, scheduled to run through 5:50 p.m., was also delayed.
Scattered showers and storms are expected throughout the day and into the early evening at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
If all 33 drivers are unable to complete one qualifying run on Saturday, the whole process would be pushed back to Sunday.
"That would make for a long and busy day, considering one full round of qualifying runs takes roughly 3 hours, followed by three knockout rounds to determine the starting grid," the Indianapolis Star reported.
The 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 is at 12:30 p.m. ET on May 24. Spain's Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing is the defending champion.
