The qualifying procedure for the Indianapolis 500 is getting a slight refresh this year

Indianapolis 500 practice is officially underway this week, with qualifying coming our way this weekend.

However, the way they'll set the field for the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is a little bit different from how it has been in previous years.

The Indy 500 has typically used a format unlike that of any other IndyCar race, and frankly, it's my favorite format in all of motorsports.

You get each car doing a run of four laps, and the field is determined by average speed across those four laps.
