It's Indy 500 weekend! Thirty-three drivers will compete for the chance to raise the Borg-Warner Trophy, sip a bottle of milk and kiss the bricks at the start-finish line. Here's what to know:
Wilson wrecked with Legge in Monday’s practice session. He was transported to the hospital, where he stayed overnight and was diagnosed with a fracture of the 12th thoracic vertebrae.
As a result, Wilson will miss the race and be replaced by Rahal in the No. 24. Rahal was the only driver who did not make the race on qualifying speed, but he will now get a chance to compete in his 16th career Indy 500 – albeit driving someone else’s car. He has a career best finish of third in the race, doing so in 2011 and 2020.– which marked the race’s second-best attendance in the last 20 years.
Track president J. Douglas Boles said Thursday that the 2023 crowd will be the second-biggest in 25 years, topping the 2022 attendance.Carb Day is annually held on the Friday before the Indy 500. It is the final practice session prior to the event. Traditionally, Carb Day was when teams would tune their carburetors similar to how they would on race day. Even though no car has used a carburetor since 1963, the official name of Carburetion Day has stuck.
Bryan Adams will headline the concert with special guest Soul Asylum to open the show. Concert gates open at 3:30 p.m. ET with the show set to run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Marcus Ericsson, a former Formula One driver, won the 2022 Indy 500 for his first career oval track victory. Including Ericsson, there are nine former Indy 500 champions vying for another win in 2023: Helio Castroneves , Takuma Sato , Simon Pagenaud , Will Power , Alexander Rossi , Ryan Hunter-Reay , Tony Kanaan and Scott Dixon .Two teams stand out entering the race: Chip Ganassi Racing and Arrow McLaren. They’ve been the quickest cars all month and that’s reflected in the betting odds, where the top seven favorites drive for those two teams.
