The 102nd Indianapolis 500 is five days away! This is the 98th day of the 102 Stats in 102 Days Until the 102nd Indy 500 blog.
Each day from now until the Saturday before the Indianapolis 500, we’ll post a list of stats related to the race. Some are well-known statistics, while others are a little more in-depth.
Here is a look at where each starting position is most likely to finish in the Indianapolis 500. For example, the polesitter has gone on to win the race 20 times. The fifth-place starter is more likely to finish second than any other position, as the fifth-place starter has come home second on 12 occasions. The 33rd-place starter is more likely to finish 16th or 32nd than any other position (five times each).
Of course, there have been more than 33 cars on numerous occasions, but this list represents only 33 cars since the 2018 starting field is comprised of 33 cars.
