The starting grid for the 2024 Indy 500 is officially set with Team Penske drivers Scott McLaughlin, Will Power and Josef Newgarden locking out the entire front row.

Indy 500 odds have adjusted to reflect qualifying results as pole-sitter McLaughlin is now the +450 favorite, followed by Newgarden (+550), Kyle Larson (+650) and Power (+650).

The track will be quiet until Friday's Carb Day, which will give teams and drivers a final two-hour practice session to dial in their cars for Sunday's Indy 500 (12:30 p.m. ET, NBC).

So, let's rerack the latest Indy 500 odds from DraftKings, including how they've adjusted since May 13.
