199 6 Indy 500 Results

A controversy during qualifying saw two bumped cars re-added to the starting field after the
close of time trials, thus the starting grid was made up of 35 cars. It was the first time since
1979, and only the second time since 1933 that more than the traditional 33 cars comprised
the starting grid. While the field had been expanded, a crash during the pace lap eliminated
three cars. Two additional cars failed to start the race due to mechanical problems, and only
29 cars took the green flag.
