SATURDAY QUALIFYING
• All entries are guaranteed one attempt to qualify between 11 a.m. and 5:50 p.m.
• The fastest 33 cars will make up the provisional field for the 98th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race based on the fastest four-lap average time.
• Once the qualifying session ends, the top 30 cars are locked in to the field.
• However, all 33 cars must re-qualify on Sunday to determine final starting positions.
• The fastest nine cars advance to a shootout on Sunday to determine the Verizon P1 Award.
Qualifying Lines:Â
• There will be two qualifying lines at the end of pit lane:
  o Line 1: Cars that are unqualified or have withdrawn their previous qualifying times. Priority will be given to this lane.
  o Line 2: Cars that have already qualified but want another attempt and have not withdrawn their previous qualifying times.
•  Multiple attempts are permitted without withdrawing a time by entering Line 2.
•  Teams can withdraw their time and enter Line 1, which will have priority over cars already in the field.
•  Teams that make multiple attempts can only improve their times if they have not withdrawn their time to enter Line 2, meaning, even if a driver records a slower four-lap average, that driver’s previous (faster) time will stand.
