The NTT IndyCar Series postponed qualifying due to inclement weather at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Rain arrived just before the scheduled start and grew heavier as the sessions approached. While IndyCar races in the rain on certain courses, the heavy rain in Indy created unsafe conditions. After trying to clear standing water, the cloud deck lowered, preventing the medical helicopter from flying, leading to the postponement of qualifying. The full knockout sessions are rescheduled on Saturday morning, creating additional work for crews. The morning warm-up practice is canceled, with qualifying and the race still going ahead as planned. Saturday’s weather is expected to be sunny with temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
