No bumping this weekend for Indy 500 qualifying

Per the 104th Indianapolis 500 Entry List IndyCar has confirmed 33 cars for the postponed running of the Indy 500. With the same number of places on the grid (33) for the race, all drivers stand to qualify for this year’s event.

That guarantees Fernando Alonso will be spared a repeat of his failure to qualify for the 2019 Indianapolis 500 when he returns to the Brickyard this weekend.

Last year 36 cars entered the race. Alonso was among the three who failed to qualify, along with Max Chilton and Patricio O’Ward.

He is returning to the race with McLaren SP, the entry formed by McLaren and Schmidt Peterson over the winter, and looks to have a much faster car this time around and would have qualified regardless.
