IMS president Doug Boles provides updated weather plan for the Indy 500

The Live Doppler 13 weather team continues to track a couple of waves of rain and storms today. It is a day to stay weather aware. A line of storms in western Illinois early this morning will move into western Indiana by 10am. We expect that line of rain and storms into the central part of the state before noon. This line may contain heavy rain, lightning and strong winds. Remember we are under a threat of severe weather.

See you all tomorrow. No way they'll be able to dry the track before 4 or 5pm after the system passes.

All the fans of the Indy 500 around the world thank you, Doug!

Doesn't sound great. Especially for Larson

[BrentTnerb]

Might as well change the race start time to 3:30pm. Larson won't be able to run both races.

Ya but what about drivers like kyle larson, if you start the race later it will conflict with the nascar coke600

[dankerns]

Love how he calling us customers not fans! Safety is priority

[douglasfoster]

Does Larson stay in Indy or head to NASCAR ?

[jpsracing]

“Inform our customers”…just call them fans. This is a racetrack, not a grocery store. I don’t want to be referred publicly as a dollar sign.

I love that shit, fastest cars on a track, period, most will push it to the brink of death to win that race too. Those mfers fly, man. Best race ever IMO! Telling ya when those cars come around turn 4 to the green flag, we all get goose bumps. Nothing like the Indy 500, man!

[toddbell]

Customers?? A large number of these guests are multigenerational families that have made this trip from all over the Midwest for a lifetime. Guests, fans, supporters but no they are "customers" WTF??

[richardpries]

Please make sure you keep your eyes open for Child predators on this day of racing!!!!

[steviejoesampson]

[rzeric]
