Notable Indy 500 Odds Movement

The first name that jumps out is McLaughlin, who has improved from +1200 to +450 after securing the pole for the 2024 Indy 500.

Other notable movers on the positive side are:

  • 2014 Indy 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay (+7000 to +3000)
  • Christian Rasmussen (+20000 to +6000)
  • Kyffin Simpson (+20000 to +6000)

On the other hand, poor qualifying runs have had significant negative impacts on a handful of drivers, including:

  • 2022 Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson (+1500 to +7000)
  • Conor Daly (+3500 to +8000)
  • Linus Lundqvist (+2500 to +7000)

And for those wondering, NASCAR Cup Series driver Larson remains at +650 to win the Indy 500 after locking in a fifth-place starting position for Sunday's race.
