Today marked the first day of for the 2020 Indianapolis 500. If you’ve been following along, Saturday qualifying determines the starting position of most of the grid—the final eight rows, or starting positions 10 through 33. On Sunday, we’ll see positions one through nine settled. Here’s what we can expect from the starting grid so far.

The Andretti team absolutely dominated in qualifying, with four of its six drivers securing the top four positions on their first qualifying attempts. Chevrolet cars—including, surprisingly, the historically dominant Team Penske—struggled more than their Honda counterparts, with several of the Indy 500's past champions unable to pull themselves out of the 20s.

Drivers in Fast Nine Shootout

Tomorrow, the nine fastest drivers from Saturday’s session will hit the track from 3-5pm Eastern to determine their starting lineup. Here’s the qualifying order, which is determined by Saturday’s speeds (from slowest to fastest):

1. Takuma Sato - 230.792 mph

2. Graham Rahal - 230.822 mph

3. Alex Palou - 231.034 mph

4. Rinus Veekay - 231.115 mph

5. Scott Dixon - 231.155 mph

6. James Hinchcliffe - 231.195 mph

Thus far, Jalopnik’s doesn’t appear to be going well. Orlove spun and got t-boned by another car. Fortunately, everyone’s okay and they’re working to get the car back on track, and there’s a sweet to look out for if they do. Andrew Collins pulled up the stream right as the...

Well, shit. Bad news from Mid-Ohio. An early crash put an end to our dreams of curbstomping at this weekend’s American Endurance Racing season finale. The good news is that driver Raphael Orlove is unhurt, though he may be sore tomorrow. He spun out coming out of the carousel and...

Austin F1 Practice Is Being Run On A Slip 'N' Slide; May Count As Qualifying
It’s so miserable outside for Free Practice 3 that Circuit of the Americas told fans not to show up at the circuit until noon. The FIA decided to run Free Practice 3 at 10:00 a.m. as planned, however, and it’s going about as well as you’d think. For example, here’s...
