Indy 500 qualifying

Last December, the IRL announced that Indy 500 qualifying will take place one week later than normally scheduled. Staring positions 1-24 will be determined during Saturday's "Pole Day," while the remaining 33-car field will be set on Sunday's "Bump Day." Several teams had requested that the IRL reduce its Indy 500 qualifying schedule from two weekends to one as a cost-cutting measure.

Teams have been practicing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week, in preparation for qualifying and the May 30 Indianapolis 500.

Qualifying for the 2010 Indy 500 will feature a revised format. The first day of qualifying will conclude with the nine fastest drivers competing for the pole in a 90-minute "shootout." A substantial increase in prize money will be rewarded to the pole winner, and additional cash will be handed out to the other two front-row qualifiers. Source
