Team Penske's front row sweep and Kyle Larson's Memorial Day weekend double chase, naturally, stole the attention all week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Helio Castroneves - The Canadian PressINDIANAPOLIS — Team Penske's front row sweep and Kyle Larson's Memorial Day weekend double chase, naturally, stole the attention all week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.You can watch the 108th Indianapolis 500 Sunday afternoon at 12:30pm ET on TSN 3/5 and streaming on TSN.ca or the TSN App.

It's certainly possible given that this trio has a combined total of five Indy wins along with seven runner-up finishes and 17 top-fives. The 37-year-old Andretti is still trying to end his family's curse at Indy. Five family members have made a total of 76 starts on the 2.5-mile Brickyard since his grandfather's only win and nobody — not even Andretti's father, Michael — has owned the coveted title of Indy champion. It's Marco Andretti's first, and likely only, series start this season.

The most recent forecast is calling for thunderstorms, potentially severe, and an 86% chance of rain Sunday. The last race to be postponed came in 1997 when the 500 was washed out Sunday and Monday before concluding Tuesday. Since then there have been two rain-shortened races, in 2004 and 2007. Women have a long history in the 500, dating to Janet Guthrie's historic qualifying run in 1977. And Katherine Legge, the only female on this year's 33-car starting grid, feels she has a certain responsibility this weekend, too.

“I am so happy we will get to remember Gil winning Indianapolis in this iconic Team Penske livery,” Pagenaud said in a statement in which he called the French-Brazilian his role model. “The colors, the helmet, the sound, the memories, and the fact that he taught me everything about this place. I remember late nights and countless hours with my Yoda talking about all the fine details to get to victory lane at the Speedway.
