Rain Changes the Indianapolis 500 Race Plan
Introduction
It rained on Saturday. The race people moved the qualifying event to Sunday.
Main Body
The rain stopped the work on Saturday. This is a big problem. Now the race uses an old plan. All 33 drivers will drive fast on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. Twelve fast drivers go to the next round at 4:00 p.m. Then, six drivers fight for the first place. This is the pole position. Sunday will be very hot. The rain washed the track. This makes the cars slide more. Experienced drivers might do better with only one try.
Conclusion
The qualifying event is now only on Sunday. The drivers will fight for their place in the race.
