Montoya Row 11- Christian Lundgaard, Jack Harvey, Stefan Wilson SCOTT DIXON came away with pole position, which has produced more winners than any other grid spot in the race’s previous 105

runnings. 21 of the 105 winners started from the pole position. He’s the odds-on favorite for a reason. HELIO CASTROVANCE who became the fourth four-time winner of the Indy 500 with his

victory last year, has history in his sights on Sunday. He would set the record for the most wins at the Indy 500 if he can pull off his fifth victory. Castrovance finds himself with long

odds at +2200, and he will have to work out of the 9th row after qualifying. Racers starting beyond the 23rd spot have only produced four total winners in the history of the race, so his

chances are slim. A familiar name to racing fans, NASCAR legend JIMMIE JOHNSON will make his IndyCar debut at 46-years-old on Sunday. While IndyCar will be new to him, the Indianapolis Motor

Speedway is not — Johnson has four wins in the Brickyard 400. Johnson starts on the outside of Row 4 after kissing the wall in his qualification. Johnson is one of the most legendary racers

to ever take the track — and I’m not one to count him out in his newest venture.
