Forget everything you know about standard F1 or NASCAR qualifying. This is four laps, wide open, on the absolute ragged edge of physics. It’s two days of pure stress.
Saturday: The goal is just to survive. The fastest 12 advance, and anyone slower than 30th is in the danger zone.
Sunday: The drama peaks. You get the heartbreak of "Bump Day" (where drivers fight just to make the field of 33) followed by the "Fast Six" shootout, where the fastest drivers throw caution to the wind to hunt for the Pole.

Carb Day is arguably the biggest party of the month. The name comes from the old days of tuning carburetors, but today it’s just code for "The Weekend Starts Now." It’s the final practice session where teams shake down their race setups, but let’s be honest, most people are here for the fun.
The Highlight: The Pit Stop Challenge. It’s a bracket-style tournament for the pit crews. There is money and massive bragging rights on the line, and the energy in the stands is wild.

Think of this as the deep breath before the plunge. Saturday is all about paying respect to the history of the Brickyard and getting up close with the current grid. The vibe is way more relaxed than race day, giving you a chance to actually hear yourself think while you grab autographs or wander through the Pagoda Plaza.
Don't Miss: The Public Drivers’ Meeting. It sounds boring, but it’s actually a rare chance to see all 33 drivers sitting together, joking around (and receiving their final instructions) before the visors go down on Sunday.
