For the first time since 2022, there will be no bumping at the Indianapolis 500. The official entry list is out, confirming all 33 driver and team entries.
Alex Palou enters the race as the defending winner of the Indy 500, and there are nine former winners on the entry list. This includes four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves, who is seeking an unprecedented fifth victory at the age of 51.
There are four drivers eligible as Indy 500 Rookie of the Year candidates, and they are Dennis Hauger, Mick Schumacher, Caio Collett, and Jacob Abel.
Prema Racing earned pole position for the 2025 Indy 500 with rookie Robert Shwartzman, but neither will take part in this year's edition of the race.
