The start of the Indianapolis 500 is delayed as a strong storm pushes into the area, forcing the evacuation of 125,000 fans.
The start of the Indianapolis 500 is expected to be delayed as a strong storm pushed into the area, forcing Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials to evacuate about 125,000 fans who had already arrived for 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.' The video boards inside the speedway flashed that a severe thunderstorm warning was in effect as the storm approached from the west. It was expected to bring heavy rain along with dangerous wind and lightning.
The NASCAR star is attempting to become the fifth driver in history to complete 'The Double' by running both races in the same day. The last to do it was Kurt Busch in 2014, and the only driver to complete all 1,100 miles was Tony Stewart in 2001. Larson qualified fifth for his debut Indy 500 in a joint effort between Arrow McLaren and Hendrick Motorsports.
