He\u2019s the three-time defending series champion. He\u2019s the defending Indy 500 champion. He\u2019s the current points leader. And he\u2019s starting Sunday\u2019s race on the pole.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, it\u2019s no surprise Palou is an absolutely massive favorite to go back-to-back. Palou is +225 to win the Indy 500. Based on implied odds, that\u2019s a roughly 30% chance of winning. In a 33-car field, that\u2019s remarkable \u2014 even for a driver who has been as dominant as Palou.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Palou has won 18-of-57 races dating back to the start of his title run in 2023. The four-time series champion finished on the podium 13 times in 17 races in 2025, yet his average finish of 4.1 was worse than it was in 2023 when he had an average finish of 3.7.<\/p>\n<p>A year ago, Palou was the closer. After running near the front of the field all day, he took the lead for the first time with 14 laps to go and led the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>If Palou wins again in 2026, he\u2019ll follow Josef Newgarden\u2019s back-to-back wins with consecutive victories of his own. It\u2019d be the first time ever that a back-to-back winner was followed by another back-to-back winner.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"alexander-rossi-and-pato-oward-in-backup-cars\">Alexander Rossi and Pato O\u2019Ward in backup cars<\/h2>\n<p>Two of the favorites to win (behind Palou, of course) will be starting the race in backup cars.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/indycar\/breaking-news\/article\/indianapolis-500-alexander-rossi-and-pato-oward-involved-in-huge-practice-crash-174557019.html\" data-i13n=\"slk:Rossi\u2019s car snapped loose;cpos:3;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rossi\u2019s car snapped loose;slk:Rossi\u2019s car snapped loose;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Rossi\u2019&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">Rossi\u2019s car snapped loose<\/a> in Turn 2 during practice on Monday and hit the wall so hard that it almost went airborne. As Rossi spun, O\u2019Ward spun while trying to avoid him and ended up slamming into the side of Rossi\u2019s car.<\/p>\n<p>Both drivers qualified in the top six \u2014 Rossi is starting on the front row \u2014 and will now be spending Carb Day shaking down their backup cars rather than fine-tuning the primary cars that earned them starting spots on the first two rows.<\/p>\n<p>Rossi, the 2016 Indy winner, underwent procedures for a finger injury and an ankle injury after the crash. Per his Ed Carpenter Racing team, they should not preclude him from starting the race.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"helio-castroneves-goes-for-win-no-5\">Helio Castroneves goes for win No. 5<\/h2>\n<p>The four-time Indy 500 winner is attempting to stand alone among the IMS greats once again. Castroneves is tied with A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears for the most Indy 500 wins and just one of three drivers in the field with multiple Indy 500 victories along with two-time champions Takuma Sato and Newgarden.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Castroneves, 51, was one of the oldest Indy 500 winners ever when he scored his fourth victory in 2021. He\u2019d be the oldest by a long shot if he wins on Sunday. Unser became the oldest winner when he scored his fourth victory at the age of 47.<\/p>\n<p>The former Team Penske driver appears to have a car capable of running up front \u2014 even if he\u2019s an underdog. But can his immense familiarity with Indianapolis help overcome his lack of recent IndyCar experience? Sunday is his first start of the 2026 season, the 500 was Castroneves\u2019 only race in 2025 and he ran just three races in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"katherine-legges-double-attempt\">Katherine Legge\u2019s double attempt<\/h2>\n<p>Legge is set to be the first woman to start both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 in the same day and the sixth person overall to try to run all 1,100 miles.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>It will be a heck of a feat if she can come close. Legge, 44, is in backmarker equipment in both events. She\u2019s racing for HMD Motorsports along with A.J. Foyt Racing in the Indy 500 and then with Live Fast Motorsports in the 600. Both are part-time teams with limited resources.<\/p>\n<p>Legge is making her fourth Indy 500 start and her first since 2024. The 600 will be her ninth Cup race overall and the first at the Charlotte oval. Given the level of equipment that Legge will be driving, top-25 finishes and seeing the checkered flag in both races should be considered a success.<\/p>\n<p>In case you\u2019re wondering, the most successful double-duty attempt came in 2001, when Tony Stewart finished sixth in the 500 and then third in the 600.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"full-starting-grid\">Full starting grid<\/h2>\n<p>The starting lineup looks a bit different than it did immediately after qualifying. The times of Caio Collet \u2014 who made the second round \u2014 and Jack Harvey were disallowed because of inspection violations found after qualifying.
