The race was planned to start at 12:45pm ET but a delay will be put in place.
Due to thunderstorms in the area, the start of the 2024 Indianapolis 500 will be postponed. Heavy rain is expected on race day in Indiana, originally scheduled for 12:45pm ET, but delayed due to lightning strikes within an eight-mile radius. This delay also affects the pre-race activities, including the traditional singing of “Back Home Again in Indiana.” The 200-lap race will begin at new timings to be communicated by IMS. With sunset at 9pm ET, the three-hour race will require an additional 90 minutes for track drying.
