We’re days away from knowing whether it will be 35 cars trying to qualify for 33 starting spots at the Indianapolis 500, or 34 where one unlucky driver will watch the May 26 race from the sidelines…
We are on the verge of finding out if there will be 35 cars vying for 33 spots at the Indianapolis 500, or 34 cars with one driver left out. Abel Motorsports, a team that made its IndyCar debut last year and secured a spot in the race, is focused on preparing their new Dallara DW12 chassis for the upcoming event. The main challenge now is securing the necessary funding and sponsors for their driver, RC Enerson, to be able to compete in the race. The team’s owner, Abel, expressed that if a deal isn’t finalized in the next week or so, they might have to consider withdrawing from the competition. The deadline for making a decision on whether to proceed with the 35th entry is rapidly approaching. They are hoping that Enerson can finalize the deal he has been working on to keep their Indy 500 dreams alive.
