​The cars, drivers and teams are still getting ready and are now in a time crunch, but the 2026 Indianapolis 500 field is set. Alex Palou will lead the 33-car field to green for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing on Sunday (12:30 p.m. ET on FOX, streaming on FOX One). Palou won the pole during qualifying last weekend, posting a four-lap average of 232.248 miles per hour at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He edged out Alexander Rossi and David Malukas, who will join him with front-row starting positions for the 110th Indy 500. This is his second Indy 500 pole (2023), and he's also the first defending Indy 500 champion to win the pole for the following year's race since Hélio Castroneves did it in 2010. But, as we've seen many times throughout past Indy 500s, no one is guaranteed anything, and a little luck is necessary to winning, along with a speedy car, of course. Experience matters too, and there are nine previous Indy 500 winners in the field: Alex Palou (2025), Josef Newgarden (2023, 2024), Marcus Ericsson (2022), Hélio Castroneves (2001, 2002, 2009, 2021), Takuma Sato (2017, 2020), Will Power (2018), Alexander Rossi (2016), Ryan Hunter-Reay (2014) and Scott Dixon (2008). Here's a look at the full starting grid for the 2026 Indy 500 on Sunday on FOX. Note: The qualifying runs for Caio Collet, who was 10th, and Jack Harvey, who was 29th, were disallowed after technical violations were found on their cars. They will start at the back of the field.

​Kyle Busch’s iconic No. 18 will be on the track at the 2026 INDY 500. Romain Grosjean will be driving his usual No. 18 car in the INDY 500, but it will have a different look. The No. 18 font will be that which Busch used for 15 years in NASCAR. The idea came from FOX Sports commentator Townsend Bell. From there, Joe Gibbs Racing helped finish the job to make it happen. Busch, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and 63-time winner, passed away suddenly on Thursday. His loss was felt in Charlotte, where the Coca-Cola 600 will take place on Sunday, as well as in Indianapolis, where drivers paid tribute to the extremely competitive Busch. "He was an extreme racer, one of the best you'd ever see on track, and I'm just speaking about his skill set," two-time INDY 500 winner Josef Newgarden told reporters on Friday. "I'm sure that the toughest part about it is just what he leaves behind with his kids and what they have to go through. Seven-time NASCAR Cup champion Jimmie Johnson was in Indianapolis in the week leading up to the race and paid tribute to Busch, as well. "The bravery, just natural skill, and then being able to tie that all back to the engineering process and communicating what he's feeling, and expanding on that, and understanding cars, and the build [of the cars]," Johnson told our Bob Pockrass and another reporter. "Technically, in [knowing] the build of a car, he's one of the best. He had that old school know-how and understanding, but could relate to the engineers — which is very special on its own. "And then he had all this bravery and skill to match it up." Read More

​Thirty-two years ago, many fans in the global soccer community saw the United States planning to host its first FIFA World Cup in 1994 and asked one collective question: Why? At the time, the United States men's national team was a largely anonymous squad of unknown players wearing now-nostalgic denim uniforms. In mainstream America, soccer did not have the same popularity as other sports like gridiron football or baseball. But then, the tournament kicked off. To look back at the summer of 1994, members of that squad — Alexi Lalas, Cobi Jones, John Harkes, and Marcelo Balboa — reunited to take a trip down memory lane and recount the tournament that changed the sport stateside. Bora And The Bootcamp The architect behind the Americans' 1994 transformation was Bora Milutinović. The enigmatic manager arrived with a storied World Cup pedigree, having already guided Costa Rica and Mexico to the round of 16 and quarterfinals, respectively. Milutinović specialty was inspiring underdogs to play far above their weight class, but his methods frustrated a young Lalas. "Bora, incredibly intelligent man... spoke five languages, not a single one of them well, and will go down for me as... the most frustrating coach I ever had in my life, but also the coach that gave me the opportunity that changed my life," Lalas. For the players, Bora was not the most popular person in the locker room, as his experience was initially met with resistance, until the team won its first-ever major international tournament title at the 1991 Gold Cup. "I hated it, and I tell you why, because he made me the translator. Nothing like being on a team, and you're the player translating the coach's new message. That was awful," Balboa said. "But as time grew on, I understood what Bora wanted, and I think we all believed it when we go to the '91 Gold Cup, and all of a sudden we're starting to win games, we beat Mexico, and we win the Gold Cup. "I don't think a lot of us were buying in until that tournament. Once we won that tournament, we were like, crap, here we go." The 'Miracle On Ice' Moment By the time the tournament arrived, USA was still widely viewed as naive. But after earning a draw against Switzerland, the Americans faced tournament favorites Colombia in front of a raucous Rose Bowl crowd. What followed was a historic upset that became the U.S. soccer equivalent of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice." "Final whistle blows, all hell breaks loose in the most positive way... I remember in 1980 when the US hockey team, Jim Craig, with a flag around him, and I, I wanted that moment to celebrate my country," Lalas said. "Everybody thought we would lose to Colombia, right?" The 2-1 victory was made even more staggering by the roster's humble realities. The United States didn't even have a domestic professional league at the time. "When you talk about… ‘iconic wins,' ‘best win ever.' You look at that team with six guys, didn't have a club team, we trained every day," Balboa said. "Cobi and I, we never played at a club, and all of our experience was international," Lalas added. Brazil Breaks America's Hearts The dream run eventually collided with global powerhouse Brazil in the Round of 16 on the Fourth of July. The match reached a violent turning point when U.S. playmaker Tab Ramos was hospitalized following a brutal elbow from Brazil's Leonardo. Though Leonardo was red-carded, losing Ramos gutted the American midfield. "Just devastating, scared beyond belief, because the way he landed," Harkes said. "I cared about Tab. I didn't care about the game at that point." The loss of Ramos didn't just hurt USA and its players emotionally, but tactically as well. "We not only lost a player in Tab leaving the field, but we lost from a practical perspective the guy that could hold the ball for us," Lalas said. Even down to 10 men, the eventual world champions continued to produce scoring opportunities. In the 72nd minute, Brazilian forward Bebeto finally broke the deadlock, slipping a clinical shot through the tiniest of windows. "What pisses me off about this goal is that I have the tackle... The problem is I get to it and I overrun it, and it ends up going in the only possible place through my legs and into the far corner there," Lalas said. "This little magician right here, Bebeto, scores the goal that they need to go through and for all intents and purposes, our World Cup is over." Looking Ahead To This Summer More than three decades after the class of '94 laid the foundation, the World Cup is returning to North American soil. For the current generation of the U.S. the tournament represents a massive launching pad to eclipse the history written by their predecessors. "I think this team can go far. I think this team can go farther than 2002," Harkes said. I hope we get to a semi, or even beyond that. Why not? Why not us? Let's believe in that." As the pressure and expectation mount for the modern squad, the trailblazers of '94 remind them that changing the sport forever requires a bit of audacity. "Gotta have dreamers," Alexi Lalas said. 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch The 2026 FIFA World Cup will run from June 11–July 19, 2026.
