Karla Young+FollowIndy 500 may break 78-year traditionA 78-year Indy 500 tradition could be on the line in 2026, with the iconic race possibly starting with fewer than 33 cars for the first time since 1947. Prema Racing’s uncertain future, following a rocky offseason and ownership shakeup, has left the entry list at just 29 confirmed cars. Even with a few more expected, the grid might not hit the magic number. For fans and locals, this would mean the end of the classic 11 rows of three on race day—a huge shift for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. What do you think: Is this a sign of bigger changes ahead for IndyCar? #Sports #Racing #Indy50000Share
Victor Mathews+FollowIndy 500 shake-up: No driver is safe in 2026Every 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 #Indy50000Share

Even with 25 chartered entries, every spot in the iconic 33-car field must be earned, making qualifying weekend in May a must-watch. Big names like Mick Schumacher and Will Power are confirmed, but a few seats are still up for grabs, keeping the rumor mill spinning. Who do you think will make the cut, and who’s at risk of missing out? Let’s hear your predictions! #Sports #Racing #Indy50010Share

Jeremy Campbell+FollowPalou & Pato O'Ward Lead 2026 Indy 500 OddsIndyCar fans, the early 2026 Indy 500 odds are out and, surprisingly, back-to-back champ Josef “Newgie” Newgarden isn’t the favorite! Instead, Alex “El Matador” Palou and Pato O’Ward are co-favorites after Palou’s dominant 2025 sweep and O’Ward’s near-misses. Newgarden sits third after his three-peat bid was dashed by a late fuel pump issue. Could this be the year Palou and O’Ward’s rivalry delivers a new winner at the Brickyard? #Sports #Racing #Indy50000Share
