The Lineup: 108th Indianapolis 500

The 108th Indianapolis 500 starting grid has been set. After a drama-filled pole day, the 33-car field will be led to the green flag by Team Penske’s three drivers, Scott McLaughlin, Will Power and last year’s winner, Josef Newgarden. 

It’s the first time a team has swept the front row in the Greatest Spectacle in Racing since 1988 when Roger Penske-owned race cars locked down the front row with Rick Mears, Danny Sullivan and Al Unser. 

There are seven former winners in the field, led by four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves. The Meyer Shank Racing driver looks to be the first to notch five victories in the Memorial Day Weekend classic. 

The other former winners are Newgarden, Power, Scott Dixon, Takuma Sato (twice), Ryan Hunter-Reay and Alexander Rossi.
