Stalled boundary across the state of Indiana will keep the threat of showers and storms in the forecast through the end of the week and into the weekend. These are your hit or miss variety showers and storms, and given the size of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway you can get rain in turns 1 and 2 and dry in 3 and 4. While the threat of rain is there, we will have plenty of dry time.

Radar will need to be watched over the next couple of days into the weekend but they should be able to get qualifying in Saturday and Sunday with minimal delays.
