Indianapolis 500 Betting Online
The 2024 Indianapolis 500 takes place on Sunday, May 26, with 33 drivers attempting to pass under the checkered flag first. Positioned as the third favorite on the opening Indy 500 line, Kyle Larson will get plenty of attention. The NASCAR Cup Series driver is making his first IndyCar start and is scheduled to race in the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Two IndyCar greats are at the top of the Indy 500 odds board with Scott McLaughlin the favorite at +475 and defending champion Josef Newgarden listed at +500. A total of 12 drivers are listed with odds of 20/1 or shorter with four of those drivers having previously won at The Brickyard.
With his fourth career Indy 500 win in 2021, Helio Castroneves joined A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears with the most victories. One other driver in the field, Japan’s Takuma Sato, has multiple Indy 500 wins. Newgarden won his first Indy 500 last year. McLaughlin won the pole position with the fastest qualifying speed in Indy history and Team Penske earned all three spots on the front row. McLaughlin hasn’t seriously contended in the race, though, with a best finish of 14th in three starts.

No race in the United States has the history or pageantry of the Indianapolis 500. This will be the 108th running of this race, and 300,000 fans will pack the stands. We are sure to see plenty of excitement as drivers look to drink the milk and kiss the bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but that latter tradition is relatively recent. Dale Jarrett was the first driver to ceremoniously kiss the bricks after winning the Brickyard 400 in 1996.

For the first time in a decade a driver will attempt one of the most difficult feats in motorsport. Called Double Duty, the term refers to a driver running two races in the same weekend or on the same day. In this case the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday.
Kyle Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion qualified fifth in both races. The most accomplished driver in the IndyCar Series is looking for his second Indy 500 win. Scott Dixon has won a record six IndyCar driver’s championships, but his lone Indy 500 victory came in 2008.

Helio Castroneves won his fourth Indy 500 in 2021, becoming the fourth driver to win the race four times. He joined A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears with the most all-time wins. There have been 20 drivers to win this race more than once. Somewhat surprisingly, Scott Dixon is not among those drivers to win this race multiple times.

In 2023, Josef Newgarden became the 75th different driver to win the Indianapolis 500. This is a race that has always been fairly wide open, as there has never been a driver to win it three straight times, and only five drivers have gone back-to-back. Castroneves became the first driver to win back-to-back Indy 500 titles since 1971 when he won here in 2001 and 2002.
Castroneves is one of the four drivers who have won the Indianapolis 500 at least four times. He joins A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr., and Rick Mears. All three of these men were contemporaries, as Foyt's wins spanned from 1961 through 1977, Unser's came from 1970 to 1987, and Mears' wins were between 1979 and 1991.
