For Karam and Daly, this would be their 2nd Indy 500 start. They are not eligible for the event's Rookie title. That's why they shouldn't be considered rookies here.

[NaBUru38]

They are season rookies, so here they are rookies. Plus, with four drivers it's more entertaining than with just two.

[NaBUru38]

Here's my bets:

o- Premium - Hunter-Reay
o- Regular - Pagenaud
o- Alternative - Newgarden

o- Fresh - Chaves
o- Belt Challenge - Power
o- Bump Challenge - Clauson

o- Manufacturer - Chevrolet
o- Pole speed - 232.3 mph

I've placed my bets here based on the results of Fast Friday which was run with the added boost and open aero regulations. Now, near noon on Sunday, the IRL has mandated to run qualifying in race setup and to award no points for qualifying. Does this mean this round of the contest on this board is cancelled or are we allowed to change our bets as we see fit?
My guess is neither, as it's too late for last minute changes on here.

Here's hoping for safe driving during qualifying and the race.
