Mike Caudill provides pre-race coverage of this year's Indy 500 from the pagoda overlooking the bricks, sharing all the latest news of the event. The Indianapolis 500 is known as the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, and is in its 110th year in 2026. Significant stories include Katherine Legge, the only female and oldest driver this year, not only competing at the Indy 500, but attempting the Double, heading to Charlotte for the Coca Cola 600, and covering 1100 miles of racetrack in a single day. She's only the 6th driver to attempt this feat. Alex Palao is atop the pole and everyone's favorite to win again this year. Will he repeat last year's performance? Alexander Rossi crashed in turn 2 on Monday during practice, but thanks to Safer Barrier installed in each turn, he walked away and will compete in this year's race. Safer Barrier was developed by a Texas A&M Alum, Dr. Dean Sicker. Title sponsor NTT Data announced they have renewed their sponsorship of the race, and provides hundreds of thousands of data points on each of the 33 cars. A team of eight people monitor the incoming data, and this year NTT Data provides an augmented reality ghost car for training purposes, as well as AI-created blog posts to share details of the race in real time during the race to fans all over the world through their app, in a program called "Up to Speed." Good Ranchers is also onsite this year, in a red barn tent, grilling and giving away steaks. They make a point to serve those in uniform through a partnership with USO. Finally, Marcus Ericsson has partnered this year with DKY Foundation, an Indiana based organization with the goal of bringing awareness to suicide prevention, especially among those in demanding jobs, who are 5x more likely to lose life to suicide compared to the general public.
