Reigning champion Josef Newgarden became the first homegrown race winner since fellow American Alexander Rossi in 2016. Newgarden will start on the front row of the grid, alongside 2018 champion Will Power, just ahead of Rossi.
However, history leans against the defending champion. Nobody has won consecutive Indy 500 races since Helio Castroneves in 2001 and 2002. He went on to win races in 2009 and 2021 and, at the age of 49, Castroneves will line up on the seventh row of 11.
New Zealander Scott McLaughlin starts in pole position while Kyle Larson, the highest-placed Indy 500 rookie, will start on the second row.
