Top Storylines According to The Associated Press:
Watch Row 7: Team Penske’s front-row sweep and Kyle Larson’s Memorial Day double have garnered much attention. However, Row 7 is equally intriguing with Marco Andretti, the 2020 Indy pole winner, starting 19th alongside four-time winner Helio Castroneves and six-time series champion Scott Dixon.
Dixon joked about the trio potentially avoiding collisions, emphasizing that anything can happen in the race. Castroneves aims for a historic fifth win, while Dixon seeks to become the 21st driver with multiple 500 wins. Marco Andretti, on his first and likely only start this season, continues to chase a win to break his family’s long-standing curse at Indy.
This trio has a combined five Indy wins, seven runner-up finishes, and 17 top-fives, promising an exciting race.
