The 109th Indianapolis 500 will feature 34 cars competing for 33 starting positions in the May 25 race, with 18 Chevrolet-powered and 16 Honda-powered entries confirmed.

The entry list combines 27 full-time IndyCar Series participants and seven Indy-only additions. Several teams have opted to maintain their regular season lineups rather than expand for the event:

  • AJ Foyt Racing: Keeping two primary entries
  • Chip Ganassi Racing: Three season-long cars (down from five last year)
  • Dale Coyne Racing: Staying with two entries
  • Juncos Hollinger Racing: Remaining at two cars

Notable developments:

  • Abel Motorsports declined additional driver opportunities, focusing on supporting the rookie effort through Dale Coyne Racing
  • Bryan Herta Autosport will skip this year's race, targeting a 2026 return
  • Katherine Legge is actively seeking a chassis for a potential 35th entry

Chevrolet has confirmed reaching its maximum capacity of 18 cars. Any additional entries, including Legge's potential entry, would need to secure Honda power units.
