The 2024 Indianapolis 500 will take place on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson is making his IndyCar debut but will miss the Coca-Cola 600 after strong rain showers delayed the 2024 Indy 500 start time to 4:44 p.m. ET. 

Scott McLaughlin is the +450 favorite in the 2024 Indy 500 odds, while Josef Newgarden is +500 and Larson is +650. Newgarden is the defending champion and will try to become the first back-to-back winner since Helio Castroneves in 2001 and 2002.

For the 2024 Indy 500, we can tell you Bobbitt and Greco are picking Colton Herta to finish in the top five for a +165 payout. "Herta turned the fastest lap out of all 8,128 practice laps last week. During Monday's Free Practice 8, Herta clocked the second quickest time, but that's not the important part. This session is where teams dial back the engines to race pace, and Herta's machine was both balanced and fast. He cut through traffic like a hot knife through butter," Bobbitt and Greco told SportsLine.
