Carpenter and Foyt have work to do. However, Canapino's pace for no open-wheel expereince is impressive to start:

This one’s pretty surprising. She hasn’t made an Indy start in a decade.
Could be wrong but I think this is 32 entries for the 500 now.

Surprise move but I’ve wanted them to do this pretty much since they first implemented it. The 500 is already more prestigious and pays better than the rest of the races and the championship combined, it doesn’t need to have a disproportionate effect on the title. Borg-Warner or bust.No more double points for the 500.
Not a fan of this move, it's not just the fact that the Indy 500 has such a lot of prestige to it, it also goes over a much longer distance than all other races.

IndyCar eliminates double points system for Indianapolis 500
After nine years of awarding double points for the results of the Indianapolis 500, IndyCar announced it will revert back to a single points system for 2023.eu.indystar.com
Canapino beat Jose Maria Lopez on merit in that Argentinian Touring Car Series on many occasions.Certainly didn't expect to see her in the 500. DRR had announced they would field two entries at the 500 so this should bring us to 33. Hoping for one or two more.
Ngl, this is extremely impressive. I expected him to be further off than JJ was two years ago.
As far as domestic Argentinian competition goes he’s the biggest name they have. I hope he’s successful because it could pay big dividends if he does. Touring cars to open wheel is such a touch transition but if he can get a couple of seasons under his belt like Scottie he could be looking quite nice.Canapino beat Jose Maria Lopez on merit in that Argentinian Touring Car Series on many occasions.
So, maybe just maybe... Maybe he could be a diamond in the rough, you never know.
If TC2000 races somewhat like Stock Car Brasil (which I assume) then it was a big jump from that series to IndyCar.Canapino beat Jose Maria Lopez on merit in that Argentinian Touring Car Series on many occasions.

500 miles is more than twice the distance of most other IndyCar races so I always thought double-points was fair. Doesn't really matter to me at the end of the day, I'll watch anyway.Surprise move but I’ve wanted them to do this pretty much since they first implemented it.

Kanaan to retire from IndyCar after this year’s Indy 500

He's in the car for Texas and Indy, the other oval races are TBASo is Sato in a Ganassi car for the 500 or not? I've read he both in and out, so I don't know what to believe. I'de sure love to see what he could do in one of Chip's cars.
IMHO still better than many in the field.He's in the car for Texas and Indy, the other oval races are TBA
That's great news. I've become a bit of a Sato fan.He's in the car for Texas and Indy, the other oval races are TBA
I sometimes ponder this: will Sato be remembered now as an Indycar driver first and F1 driver second? Has to be that way now but I honestly don't know.That's great news. I've become a bit of a Sato fan.

Balls to the wall forever, whether passing a wounded Alonso with a s#itbox old Honda at Montreal or trying to win the 500.Sato will be remembered for no attack, no chance.
Jack Harvey has not been cleared for competition:
Juri Vips will be at the Barber test with RLL:
I think by the time May comes around they should have a lot of extra cars. They usually add a few right at race trials anyway. So they should have a few extra. That does make it more exciting to have several extra cars trying to make the field. And don't forget, Marco will be in the field.Pretty ridiculous the 500 isn’t a double points race.
Also I think not having 35-37 cars for bump day is unacceptable as a product. But w/e still the best race in the world probably now.
Yeah. That was a shame he got bumped out and lost his ride and has been out for so long. I felt he had a lot left to give- being knocked out completely and not having a ride. So good luck to him.Really happy about the news that Ryan Hunter-Reay is in the field in a car capable of contending. I'm not necessarily a fan of his per se but having another former winner in the field is a net positive.
