The 106th edition of the Indianapolis 500 is set to take place on Sunday, May 29th and will be broadcast live on NBC. Helio Castroneves is looking to make history by becoming the first driver to win The Greatest Spectacle in Racing five times. He will have to do it from the back of the pack, starting 27th out of 33 drivers. But if last year's race is any indication, anything can happen.

Scott Dixon will take pole position for the second consecutive year, but Andretti Autosport's Colton Herta had a sharp fall on Friday's Carb Day that pushed back his luck and starting position. Ed Carpenter Racing is always fast on his hometown circuit, with Rinus VeeKay starting third and Carpenter himself fourth.
Honda seems to have found something extra for the month of May, but don't rule out Ed Carpenter Racing or McLaren Arrow SP driven by Pato O'Ward and Felix Rosenqvist. A McLaren hasn't ended up in the Indy winning circle since 1976, but both drivers can change it.
