Álex Palou, the dominant IndyCar champion, starts on pole for Sunday's 110th Indianapolis 500. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver seeks to become the first repeat winner since Josef Newgarden. His four-lap average of 232.148 mph secured the top spot, underscoring his rare form. Palou's bid for back-to-back victories headlines a field stacked with nine former winners.

Veteran Helio Castroneves, 51, aims to become the first driver to win a fifth Indy 500, which would shatter the age record. Newgarden, starting 23rd, chases a third win and a place among the race's legends. Their quests add historical weight to the spectacle. The field also features four rookies, including Mick Schumacher, son of F1 great Michael Schumacher, making his oval debut.

Katherine Legge attempts the grueling "Double Duty" for the fifth time, racing the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Her unique challenge highlights the versatility of top drivers. Finally, the iconic milk tradition continues, with 25 drivers choosing whole milk, following the recent winner's trend. This race is a mandatory viewing for any sports fan.
