Indianapolis 500 2025 qualifying order
We will update this list as teams pick their place in the qualifying order.
All drivers are guaranteed one qualifying run on Saturday. After the first round, cars that want to make additional runs slot into two lanes throughout the afternoon. Going through the priority lane gets a car onto the track sooner, but the previous attempt must be withdrawn. Going through the second lane allows drivers to improve on a previous qualifying time without withdrawing it.
With sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60s forecast for Saturday, track conditions may not be as volatile as usual.
Here is the qualifying order for the first round on Saturday.

Rockets learn game times for 2025-26 season opener at Thunder, Christmas at Lakers
Houston's regular-season opener at Oklahoma City tips off at 6:30 p.m. Central on NBC, while the Christmas matchup versus the Lakers tips at 7:00 p.m. on ABC. In morning-news segments with two primary partners (NBC and ABC) under its new broadcast contracts, the NBA released more game dates and times for its upcoming 2025-26 regular season. For the Rockets, Tuesday's reveals confirmed what was already evident: With perennial All-Star and future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant on board, Houston is ready for prime time. Houston's Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Lakers will tip off at 7:00 p.m. Central on ABC and ESPN, making it the most lucrative time slot among the five games. Meanwhile, Houston's regular-season opener at Oklahoma City tips at 6:30 p.m. Central on NBC. That October 21 game will be the first NBA on NBC telecast since 2002. Mike Tirico will handle the play-by-play for Rockets-Thunder, with former players Reggie Miller and Jamal Crawford as analysts and Zora Stephenson as the sideline reporter. Broadcast assignments for Rockets-Lakers on Christmas have yet to be announced. Tuesday's segment on NBC's TODAY Show, which can be viewed here, featured Rockets mascot Clutch the Bear and Thunder mascot Rumble the Bison. Because Houston will play Oklahoma City in NBC's opening-night showcase, those two organizations earned the initial spotlight. The complete 2025-26 schedule, with the exception of two games that are pending Emirates NBA Cup 2025 results, will be announced on Thursday.
