The remaining positions (25-33) will, as always, be decided on bump day.

Ecstatic to see Ed win the pole in a single car team in a nine car shootout full of megateams.

In F1 terms, this is like winning the pole in a Caterham.

Marussia?

Not posting a spoiler, but you guys have to see the last lap of the Indy Lights Freedom 100.

Best finish ever at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Awesome finish.

Great to see the tricolour in victory lane!

so has the actual race happened?

No, the Indy 500 is Sunday.

ok phew
i didn't want to miss it
which i will because it starts at 1 am my time :/

Going well so far, shame Franchitti is way down

C'mon Munoz. Great livery on that car.

Hard to believe Munoz has come straight out of an Indy Lights car.

He's got a fine car under him.

Surprising to see Will Power starting in the Top 10 considering he isn't good on the ovals and a great job by Allmendinger to get start 5th.

Cmon TK!!!!

TK wins!

Awesome race. Like Monaco GP, this had to THE best Indy 500 I have ever seen. Double the previous record for lead changes, record number of leaders, minimal amount of stupid... GREAT race.

And a TK win to top it all off

If it had ended under green, it would have been even better.

A great race, but it still doesn't match the drama of last years finish.

And I absolutely loved the colours on Carlos Munoz' car.


If it wasn't for the bulky rear end, these cars would look pretty sweet!

someone deleted the Monaco race off of foxtel and now i can't watch it, and turns out it was a great race?

The quietness of this thread proves how little regard people have for Indy these days.

Out of the Coke 600 and the Monaco GP, this was far and away the best race of the day. So many stories, and such a sweet outcome, not to mention the fantastic racing.

Indycar really has a long ways to go in winning the fans back!

It was better than Monaco epic race and so many passing moves, reckon it was AJ's race till his belts came undone. The fans fav won it but I reckon Munoz had a better car under him. What would have made this race even better would have been a Franchitti Vs Castroneves battle for the win.
