Got milk?

The biggest race day of the year comes your way on Sunday with one of the world’s most iconic races: The Indianapolis 500.

The field is set to go racing at 12:45 p.m. ET, and this year’s 33-car field will be paced by Will Power, who currently sits atop the driver’s standings entering Sunday.

While the field features eight former Indy 500 winners, it also features a few very notable rookies: NASCAR great Jimmie Johnson sits behind the wheel of a car in Indianapolis in IndyCar for the first time, in his first full season for Chip Ganassi racing.

Also a notable rookie is former Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean: The Frenchman was behind the wheel of a Haas in F1 when a devastating, explosive car wreck ended his F1 career in 2020. After a few tests for Mercedes, Grosjean made the jump to Andretti Autosport this year.
