Every IndyCar driver—yes, even the full-timers with charters—could be left out of the 2026 Indy 500. With Ed Carpenter returning for his 23rd attempt and more entries piling up, the field is quickly approaching (and could surpass) the 33-car limit. That means qualifying is truly make-or-break, and nobody’s spot is guaranteed. Imagine the drama if a big name gets bumped! With a possible 35 cars on the grid, the tension for Pole Day and Bump Day is going to be off the charts. Who do you think could be the surprise miss this year? #Sports #Racing #Indy500
