The 108th running of the Indianapolis 500 takes place Sunday, though there is rain in the forecast for "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing." Scott McLaughlin of Team Penske will be on the pole after breaking the four-lap qualifying record at 234.220 mph last Sunday. Next to him are teammates Will Power and defending champion Josef Newgarden, who made a last-lap pass of Marcus Ericsson during a controversial finish a year ago to give team owner Roger Penske his record-extending 19th win. Kyle Larson will start fifth on Memorial Day weekend as he tries to become the second driver ever to complete every lap of the Indy 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte on the same day. Helio Castroneves is trying to win for a record fifth time.
