Although the reasons behind this month’s 33 cars chasing the 33 spots in Indy 500 qualifying are well known, the situation doesn’t sit well with Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar Series President Doug Boles. https://t.co/sAcFZOU7Su
Another banger by @Hickey93. But some say bumping doesn't matter. The intro proves how important this race is/was. Settling at 33 and locking out anyone else devalues race. The month of May might as well just be one weekend. https://t.co/IKQYW7XiPl #indycar #indy500 #fastest33
For those of you who have been on here for awhile, you will likely know I have been the biggest proponent of the #fastest33. Beyond the historic precedent, the tradition and respecting the drivers who literally put their life on the line to make the Indy500, removing the qualifying attempts to make the race simply devalues the very race that has brought value to this series.
Champ car and CART know all too well that without the Indy500 nothing else survives. What Indycar constantly refuses to understand is outweighing the short term vision with the long term value that is created. The hybrid engine was another short term vision that has had zero long term benefit.
So yes 2026 isn’t going to have any bumping. Every driver on the entrant list will have a place in the race. I’m sure everyone is ecstatic on the inside. But this is just another step in reducing the value of the race.
This, by a select few, will be viewed as “trashing the series” rather than taking a minute to realize the the short term decisions being made now, will have an extreme impact on the future. The decision to lock out non chartered teams is a stepping stone to the 25/8 rule. Mark my words.
@500Indy1911 I feel like MShank said he’s in favor of guaranteed 500 spots too, maybe on Daly’s podcast a year back?
Please never. #Fastest33 #Indy500
So we know now that Dale Coyne wants guaranteed starting spots for the Indianapolis 500.
Not surprising. They have brought toilets since 2018.
We better love Doug Boles while he’s here!

The greatest drivers. The greatest spectacle.
The Fastest 33.
@BrentWags12 @champwebdotnet No! Starting the Indy 500 is not an entitlement but should be earned! #fastest33
@champwebdotnet It’s part of what makes Indy special, no matter how cruel. Forever team #Fastest33 with ZERO auto-bids.
veekay just goofed #fastest33
One of the best looking liveries with one of the most recognizable brands may not be in the race.
This is the #Fastest33
#fastest33 only!!
@champwebdotnet He’s not locked into the race??
Take 2 minutes and listen to Al Unser Jr talk about the stress of Qualifying for the Indianapolis 500.

Al Unser Jr. may not get emotional about it anymore but he sure does still understand what it means each time he steps foot inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. @jakequery | @alunserjr

"We're not changing that one, at least not while im here." Doug Boles on the #Fastest33 starting the race.
THANK YOU @jdouglas4 !
Drama. Intensity. The stakes could not be higher.
There WILL be bumping for the #Indy500 😳

The best rule, by far, in the “2025 Official IndyCar Rulebook” is Rule 8.5.3.

And quite honestly this is why guaranteed spots suck. And why the indy500 is what it is. #Fastest33
@champwebdotnet Yes was guaranteed a spot before anything happened this week
