He returns in 2023 with his Chip Ganassi Racing team hoping to become the first driver to win consecutive Indy 500 races since Helio Castroneves in 2001 and 2002.
Ericsson starts fourth on the grid and ranks among the favourites to win the event. Alex Palou will start at the very front of the grid and is considered the top contender, though only one pole-sitter has gone on to win the race since 2009.
Eight former winners will line up on Sunday, with Scott Dixon, Tony Kaanan and Will Power all starting towards the back of the pack, while RC Enerson qualified top of the Indy 500 rookies to start in 10th, one place ahead of fellow debutant Sting Ray Robb.
