Indy 500: Green Flag at 4:44 PM ET, Blackout Lifted
The 2024 Indianapolis 500, delayed by rain, is now set to start at 4:44 p.m. ET with pre-race activities beginning at 3:30 p.m. The local TV blackout has been lifted, and the Snake Pit music festival area has reopened. The race must reach 101 laps to be considered complete, and it will end by 8:15 p.m. due to safety concerns. Kyle Larson will stay in Indianapolis for his Indy 500 debut, despite the potential conflict with the NASCAR Cup's Coke 600.
