With a perfect field of 33 cars and no need for the Last Chance Qualifiers in this year's Indy 500 Qualifiers, INDYCAR announced an update to the qualifying format for Saturday and Sunday.

It begins with Saturday's Day One of qualifying which will determine positions 16-33. The fastest nine cars from Day One also will be locked into the Top 12 qualifying session on Day Two Sunday earning the opportunity to advance to the Firestone Fast Six.

Cars ranked 10-15 on Day One will advance to the Final 15 round on Day Two and will have the opportunity to compete for the three spots remaining to fill the Top 12 round.

Top 12 Qualifying will begin with the three advancing cars from Final 15 – slowest to fastest – followed by the cars, from ninth to first, that advanced to the round based on speeds from Day One. Like in previous years, the fastest six will advance to the Firestone Fast Six to determine positions one through six and compete for the NTT P1 Award for pole.
