Qualifying for the 110th Indianapolis 500 is underway.

Weather forced the cancellation of Saturday’s qualifying run, forcing IndyCar to shift to a one-day format. Under the scheduling change, all all qualifiers lined up starting at 12:00 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, each with one attempt to post a traditional four-lap qualifying speed.

The Top 12 advanced to a knockout round, while the others filled in spots 33 through 13 on the starting grid.

The Top 12 will then fight for a spot in the Firestone Fast Six, while the bottom six in that knockout round will slot into spots 12 through 7 in the field.

Finally, the Firestone Fast Six will set the front two roles, and the pole sitter, for the 110th Indianapolis 500.

Here is the provisional starting grid, which will be filled in throughout the afternoon:

Row Position Driver Position Driver Position Driver
1 1 2 3
2 4 5 6
3 7 8 9
4 10 11 12
5 13 Takuma Sato 14 Ed Carpenter 15 Helio Castroneves
6 16 Christian Rasmussen 17 Marcus Armstrong 18 Marcus Ericsson
7 19 Christian Lundgaard 20 Will Power 21 Nolan Siegel
8 22 Louis Foster 23 Ryan Hunter-Reay 24 Josef Newgarden
9 25 Romain Grosjean 26 Kyle Kirkwood 27 Katherine Legge
10 28 Mick Schumacher 29 Jack Harvey 30 Graham Rahal
11 31 Dennis Hauger 32 Jacob Abel 33 Sting Ray Robb
