Broadcast schedule for the week:

Entry list:

Indianapolis Motor Speedway opens today for practice for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500. While the entry list is short, cars will be on track for seven consecutive days.

Cars mostly run race setups the first couple days and then get into qualifying mode Friday when extra boost is added.

Last year on opening day the fastest speed was in the 227 range,

Something else expected this week is the anticipated announcement of a grandstand sellout for the race.

There has been a modification to Sunday’s qualifying format, which I will talk about in a post later this morning.

My track schedule this week will be a bit reduced compared to other years. I will spend just half days at IMS Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to take care of some things at home. There are no serious health concerns, I’m just catching up on a few things.

I will still have an end of day report and keep all three of you who reead this up to date on happenings while I’m there.
