The start of the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 has been delayed for the second consecutive year due to light rain around the track, initially scheduled at 12:45pm EST. IMS officials are holding off on starting engines due to sprinkles, although the rest of the pre-race ceremonies have been completed. Overcast conditions posed no significant threat to completing the full race on the same day. Kyle Larson faces a challenge attempting the Indy 500/Coke 600 Double, with possible delays putting his endeavor at risk. Tony Kanaan stands by in case Larson needs to switch at Indianapolis, and rookie Robert Shwartzman leads the field for the eventual start of the 2025 Indy 500. The likelihood of a full postponement or a rain-shortened race is low given historical trends.
