The first four rows for the 106th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge will be set today on Day 2 of PPG Presents Armed Forces Qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The action starts at 12:30 p.m. (ET) with a 90-minute practice session for the 12 fastest drivers going for the NTT P1 Award for pole, live on Peacock Premium. Here’s an eye-opening statistic for you: 75 percent of Indianapolis 500-Mile Races have been won by a driver starting in the top 12, including the past six races. The most successful starting position in Indianapolis 500 history is first, with 21 drivers having won the race from the pole. The second most successful starting spot is third (that’s where Sato started in 2020) with 13 drivers finding Victory Lane after starting third.
