The starting order for the 2025 Indianapolis 500 will be set on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, as the 12 fastest drivers will go for pole and four last-chance qualifiers will battle for the final three starting positions. Kyle Larson will not be in action on Sunday at Indianapolis after qualifying 21st overall on Saturday. Advertisement Scott McLaughlin was hoping to go for a second consecutive pole position at Indianapolis - but he suffered a major accident in Sunday morning practice after finishing second overall in Saturday's qualifying session. We'll have all the latest updates and results from Indy 500 qualifying, so be sure to refresh the page often. Provisional 2025 Indy 500 starting lineup before the Fast 6 The top six drivers will now battle for pole position and the top six places on the grid, but positions No. 7 through No. 33 are set. Fast 6: Felix Rosenqvist, Pato O'Ward, Robert Shwartzman, Scott Dixon, Alex Palou, Takuma Sato Advertisement 7. David Malukas 8. Christian Lundgaard 9. Marcus Ericsson 10. Scott McLaughlin 11. Josef Newgarden 12. Will Power 13. Conor Daly 14. Alexander Rossi 15. Kyffin Simpson 16. Ed Carpenter 17. Santino Ferruci 18. Devlin DeFrancesco 19. Sting Ray Robb 20. Christian Rasmussen 21.

Marcus Armstrong 33. Rinus VeeKay Jacob Abel goes fourth fastest, will miss the 2025 Indy 500. Rookie driver Jacob Abel was unable to match his first-run pace, meaning Marco Andretti, Marcus Armstrong and Rinus VeeKay will start on the final row next Sunday. Marco Andretti: 229.741 mph Marcus Armstrong: 229.091 mph Rinus VeeKay: 226.913 mph Jacob Abel: 226.394 mph (eliminated) VeeKay goes third fastest in last-chance qualifying Drama in the final moments of LCQ! VeeKay went a massive .8 mph slower in his second run than he did in his first, giving Abel the chance to make the show if he can match his first-run speed. Marco Andretti: 229.741 mph Marcus Armstrong: 229.091 mph Rinus VeeKay: 226.913 mph VeeKay goes slower in first lap Rinus VeeKay's gamble to forfeit his previous run and go again could be blowing up in his face. VeeKay was significantly slower on his first lap, and continues to trail the pace of his earlier run. 10 minutes remain in last-chance qualifying Jacob Abel was set to be the only remaining runner - but Rinus VeeKay is making a surprise run with eight minutes remaining. Advertisement By making a qualifying run, VeeKay is forfeiting his previous speed - meaning if he has any issues during his run, he could be throwing away a spot in the Indy 500. Jacob Abel next to make a qualifying attempt In order to cool the car down, Abel will go around the track at a low speed, then prepare for a run that could knock teammate Rinus VeeKay out of the race. Josef Newgarden goes for a run around the track after missing a chance at pole Newgarden was not allowed to qualify on Saturday and will start 11th in the 2025 Indy 500. With some extra time on his hands, the Team Penske driver went for a run. Rinus VeeKay edges Jacob Abel for third VeeKay had a bit of a troubling run. He used 80+ percent of his hybrid power on the first lap, leading to a big drop off in speed over his following three laps. Marco Andretti and Marcus Armstrong are looking safe to be in the show, and may not need to make another run. Advertisement Marco Andretti: 229.741 mph Marcus Armstrong: 229.091 mph Rinus VeeKay: 227.740 mph Jacob Abel: 227.112 mph Jacob Abel posts slowest speed in last-chance qualifying Abel's team will have some serious work to do after Abel posted speed two miles per hour slower than Andretti and Armstrong. Marco Andretti: 229.741 mph Marcus Armstrong: 229.091 mph Jacob Abel: 227.112 mph Scott McLaughlin to start 10th in 2025 Indy 500 With McLaughlin unable to qualify on Sunday following his crash and his two Team Penske teammates pulled out of qualifying due to technical issues, how will they start on Sunday? McLaughlin will start 10th, followed by Newgarden in 11th and Power in 12th. Marco Andretti goes fastest in last-chance qualifying Andretti has a comfortable edge atop the pylon with 48 minutes remaining in LCQ. Drivers will be allowed to get back in line and make as many runs as time allows. Advertisement Marco Andretti: 229.741 mph Marcus Armstrong: 229.091 mph Marcus Armstrong sets first time in last-chance qualifying Marcus Armstrong: 229.091 mph See Marcus Armstrong's Saturday practice crash Armstrong's team had to rebuild the car after a huge accident on Saturday. Judging by Sunday morning's practice times, Armstrong (along with Andretti and VeeKay) are favored to make the race over Jacob Abel. Why Josef Newgarden and Will Power were not allowed to qualify on Sunday There has been plenty of drama surrounding Team Penske on Sunday, just one year after the successfully locked out the front row in qualifying for the 2024 Indy 500. In Sunday morning practice, Scott McLaughlin crashed and caused major damage to his car, and was immediately out of Fast 12 qualifying. Advertisement As the cars lined up for qualifying later on Sunday, the cars of Josef Newgarden and Will Power were pulled out of the qualifying line after the team attempted to make adjustments on pit road. Once a car goes through inspection, teams are only allowed to make adjustments to wing angle and tire pressure, but the Team Penske crew was seen taking power tools to the rear attenuator on each of its cars. An IndyCar official confirmed that both Newgarden and Power's cars had a body fit violation on the rear attenuator. According to Team Penske's Tim Cindric, the No. 12 car of Will Power had actually passed technical inspection, but the No. 2 car of Newgarden's did not. Cindric said the team believed that they might be able to modify the car prior to qualifying, but they were then pulled out of line. Last-chance qualifying: Marco Andretti looking to make 2025 Indy 500 field With Fast 12 qualifying in the books, it's time to shift to arguably the most dramatic portion of Sunday's session: Last-chance qualifying.

One of the following drivers will not be racing next Sunday: Marco Andretti Rinus VeeKay Jacob Abel Marcus Armstrong Alex Palou goes fifth fastest to lock into the Fast 6 Felix Rosenqvist: 232.523 mph Pato O'Ward: 232.186 mph Robert Shwartzman: 232.008 mph Scott Dixon: 231.971 mph Alex Palou: 231.800 mph Takuma Sato: 231.686 mph David Malukas: 231.599 mph Christian Lundgaard: 231.360 mph Marcus Ericsson: 231.014 mph Pato O'Ward goes second fastest Felix Rosenqvist: 232.523 mph Pato O'Ward: 232.186 mph Robert Shwartzman: 232.008 mph Scott Dixon: 231.971 mph Takuma Sato: 231.686 mph David Malukas: 231.599 mph Christian Lundgaard: 231.360 mph Marcus Ericsson: 231.014 mph Scott Dixon locks in spot in the Fast 6 With only three drivers left to make an attempt, Scott Dixon locked himself into the Fast Six with the third fastest speed.

It's been a rough Sunday for Team Penske. Scott McLaughlin crashes in Sunday morning practice Scott McLaughlin was very nearly the fastest man in Indianapolis on Saturday, posting a speed just below that of Alex Palou, but the Team Penske driver suffered a major accident in practice on Sunday prior to qualifying and will not make a qualifying attempt. 2025 Indy 500 fast 12 qualifiers: Drivers are ordered based on their speed in Saturday's qualifying session.

IndyCar Series 2025 drivers championship, Rookie of the Year, Leaders Circle standings
The 2025 IndyCar Series season is looking like a runaway already. Alex Palou has won three races, most recently at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. Kyle Kirkwood won on the streets of Long Beach. Here's where the drivers and teams stand in the season-long points, Rookie of the Year and Leaders Circle races. IndyCar Series championship points 2025 (Through four of 17 races) Advertisement Alex Palou, 196 points Christian Lundgaard, 136 Kyle Kirkwood, 127 Pato O'Ward, 108 Scott McLaughlin, 105 Felix Rosenqvist, 105 Scott Dixon, 104 Colton Herta, 99 Will Power, 93 Alexander Rossi, 82 Josef Newgarden, 78 Rinus VeeKay, 78 Marcus Ericsson, 65 Marcus Armstrong, 64 Santino Ferrucci, 63 Graham Rahal, 61 Kyffin Simpson, 57 David Malukas, 56 Christian Rasmussen, 55 Nolan Siegel, 48 Sting Ray Robb, 47 Conor Daly, 43 Robert Shwartzman, 35 Callum Ilott, 32 Louis Foster, 30 Devlin DeFrancesco, 30 Jacob Abel, 22 IndyCar Series 2025 rookie standings After a race at Long Beach where two of IndyCar's three 2025 rookies snagged top-20 finishes — including a season-best among the trio of 16th (Louis Foster) — it looked as if Foster again would have an opportunity to set yet another benchmark for the group after making his second Fast 12 appearance on Saturday at Barber. Instead, a mid-race off-track excursion left the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver mired in 26th, sandwiched in between his other rookie of the year competitors Robert Shwartzman (25th) and Jacob Abel (27th) as the trio made for the final three spots. Here how IndyCar's three full-season rookies are faring. Robert Schwartzman, 35 points Louis Foster, 30 Jacob Abel, 22 IndyCar Series Leaders Circle standings 2025 IndyCar's Leaders Circle program pays eligible teams just over $1 million the following season in guarantees. To qualify for one of the 22 spots, the entry must be associated with one of IndyCar's 25 charters — teams are allowed to have a maximum of three. Only Prema Racing's two cars remain unchartered. The 25 chartered cars are then ranked by entrant points and, at the end of this season, the top 22 eligible entries will be paid $1.2 million or more by Penske Entertainment throughout the 2026 season.
