Qualifying Notes
- Last Chance qualifying began at 4:07 p.m. EDT. The session set the 11th row of the 33-car field with the fastest three qualifiers ranked 31st, 32nd and 33rd. Those outside the tope three were bumped from the field.
- Nolan Siegel was the first driver to make an attempt, averaging 229.566 mph.
- Marcus Ericsson was the second Last Chance qualifier, averaging 220.702 mph after he lifted following his third lap thinking that his run was complete. The attempt was later disallowed by INDYCAR due to work performed on the No. 28 Andretti Global Honda.
- Katherine Legge's 230.092 mph four-lap average moved her to the top of the Last Chance leaderboard, where she remained through the remainder of the one-hour session.
- Rahal, the last of the four Last Chance qualifiers on track, completed his run with a 229.974 mph average speed which bumped Ericsson from the field of 33.
- Ericsson returned for a second attempt but ran it at a low speed to help cool his engine. The attempt averaged just 168.986 mph, keeping him below the cut line.
- Eight minutes before the end of the session, Ericsson made a third attempt which averaged 230.027 mph, slotting him between Legge and Rahal and bumping Siegel from the field.
- With two minutes left on the clock, Siegel took to the track in an attempt to bump his way back into the field. His first lap at 229.288 mph was not fast enough to surpass Rahal's four-lap average. On Siegel's second lap, his No. 18 Dale Coyne racing Honda made right-side contact in Turn 1. The car then spun and made secondary contact with the wall in Turn 2. Siegel climbed from his car without assistance from the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team.
- Unable to complete his run, Siegel was bumped from the field.

Qualifying Notes
- The first day of qualifying for the 2024 Indianapolis 500 began on time when then track opened at 11 a.m. EDT for all entries.
- Qualifying determined positions 13–30 in the field based on fastest four-lap aggregate times. All cars were guaranteed one four-lap opportunity to qualify provided that each car was properly presented in the initial qualifying line.
- An official qualification attempt consisted of four consecutive timed laps, with the aggregate time recorded as the official qualifying time for the car. Each car was permitted two warm-up laps prior to the timed qualification attempt, although the Race Director may permit three warm-up laps if deemed necessary.
- The guaranteed opportunity for qualifying was completed after going one time through through the official qualifying order, established by the blind qualifying draw on May 17. If an entry did not make its qualifying attempt at the designated spot in the qualifying order, it forfeited its guaranteed opportunity. The cars of Alexander Rossi, Scott Dixon, Pato O'Ward and Ryan Hunter-Reay were removed from the qualifying order by their respective teams and qualified later in the session.
- At 11 a.m., the ambient temperature was 73 degrees with 80% relative humidity and mostly cloudy skies. The track temperature was 94.6 degrees according to Firestone engineers.
- At 11:14 a.m., Rinus VeeKay began his guaranteed qualification attempt. On his first qualifying lap, his No. 21 Ed Carpenter Racing Chevrolet got loose, did a half spin and made hard left-side contact with the SAFER Barrier in Turn 3. The car then slid backward, made secondary impact and came to rest against the wall in Turn 4. The car had damage on its left side. VeeKay climbed from the car without assistance from the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team. He was later cleared and released from the infield care center at IMS.
- At 11:42 a.m., the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet of Callum Ilott completed its qualification attempt with a four-lap average speed of 232.420 mph. The attempt was later disqualified due to a non-compliant left rear wheel offset that was discovered in post-qualifying technical inspection. Ilott eventually qualified in the 15 position.
- VeeKay completed a qualification attempt at 3:51 p.m., posting a four-lap average speed of 231.686 mph which ranked him 29th out of 30. In the closing minutes of the session at 5:45 p.m., VeeKay withdrew his time and posted a four-lap average speed of 233.448 mph, which ranked him 11th and bumped Colton Herta out of the top 12.
- The top 12 fastest four-lap averages, led by the No. 12 Team Penske Chevrolet of Will Power at 233.758 mph, will compete in Top 12 qualifying on May 19 at 3:05 p.m.. Other drivers in the top 12 were Scott McLaughlin, Josef Newgarden, Rossi, Kyle Kirkwood, Kyle Larson, Felix Rosenqvist, Santino Ferrucci, Takuma Sato, O'Ward and VeeKay.
- Those drivers whose four-lap averages ranked 13 through 30 will start from those positions in the Indianapolis 500, pending official confirmation of the qualifying results.
- Four drivers were outside the top 30 and will compete in Last Chance qualifying on May 21 at 4:15 p.m.
- Marcus Ericsson, No. 28 Andretti Global Honda
- Katherine Legge, No. 51 Dale Coyne Racing Honda
- Graham Rahal, No. 15 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Honda
- Nolan Siegel, No. 18 Dale Coyne Racing Honda
- The driver with the slowest four-lap average speed in Last Chance qualifying will be bumped from the field.

Session Notes
- Practice 5 ran for its scheduled six-hour duration from noon to 6 p.m. EDT. Known as Fast Friday practice, the session featured increased boost levels that allowed teams to execute qualification simulations in advance of Saturday's first day of qualifying.
- Just prior to the start of Practice 5, the ambient temperature at Indianapolis Motor Speedway was 72 degrees with cloudy skies. The track temperature was 90 degrees according to Firestone engineers.
- A brief three-minute yellow flag for debris in Turn 1 slowed the action at 12:12 p.m.
- At 1:37 p.m., the No. 18 Dale Coyne Racing Honda of Nolan Siegel did a half spin and made left-front contact with the SAFER Barrier in Turn 2. The car then became airborne and landed on its left sidepod before sliding down the backstretch on its roll hoop. Siegel reported over the radio that he was okay. He climbed from his race car after assistance from the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team. Siegel was later seen and released from the IU Health Emergency Medical Center at IMS. The yellow flag lasted for 18 minutes.
- Green-flag running resumed until 3:14 p.m. when the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of Alex Palou caused another yellow flag when it slowed with smoke trailing on the backstretch. Ganassi subsequently replaced the car's engine. The stoppage lasted for 21 minutes.
- Following the green flag at 3:35 p.m., the remainder of the session ran free of caution until its scheduled end time.
- At the conclusion of Practice 5, the No. 26 Andretti Global Honda of Colton Herta had the fastest tow-assisted lap at 234.974 mph. The No. 2 Team Penske Chevrolet of Josef Newgarden had the fastest no-tow lap at 234.260 mph.

Session Notes
- Practice 4 started at 10 a.m. EDT, two hours earlier than scheduled, to make up for time lost earlier in the week due to inclement weather at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The session concluded at 6 p.m.
- At 11:30 a.m., the first of two significant incidents occurred when the No. 8 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of Linus Lundqvist made right-rear contact with the SAFER Barrier at the exit of Turn 2. The car then made secondary contact with the wall on the backstretch then did a full spin and came to rest in the grass. The car had significant rear-end damage. Lundqvist was able to climb from his race car with limited assistance from the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team and walked to the medical car under his own power. The resulting yellow-flag condition lasted for 18 minutes.
- At 1:22 p.m., the track went yellow for debris in Turn 2. Green-flag running resumed three minutes later.
- The second major incident occurred at 3:49 p.m. when the No. 28 Andretti Global Honda of Marcus Ericsson spun in Turn 4 and made contact with the SAFER Barrier at the exit of the corner. The car continued to spin and made secondary front-end contact with the inside pit wall and left-side contact with the pit lane attenuator. Ericsson was able to climb from his car without assistance from the AMR INDYCAR Safety Team. The green flag was displayed again at 4:23 p.m.
- At 4:26 p.m., the the track was yellow flagged for conditions. The resulting stoppage lasted for one hour and nine minutes.
- The next yellow flag was at 5:47 p.m. for the No. 24 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Chevrolet of Conor Daly which required a tow in after being slow on the backstretch.
