Race Day Weather Update

Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials are closely monitoring the weather forecast in real time for Race Day Sunday, May 26, for the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. A large storm system is approaching the area, and it is likely to cause a significant delay, possibly at the start of the race.

IMS is targeting a time between 4:30 and 5 p.m. ET for the start of the race, but it is unclear if all 200 laps and 500 miles will be run. A final decision will be made closer to the scheduled start time.

The 108th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled to start at 12:45 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Conclusion

The weather delay is a reminder that even the most prestigious races in the world are at the mercy of the elements. IMS officials are doing everything they can to ensure a safe and exciting race for the fans, but the weather may have the final say.
