For the second consecutive year, the start of the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 has been delayed due to light rain around the track. It was originally scheduled to start a 12:45pm EST, but sprinkles forced IMS officials to pause the action, placing the command to start engines on hold. The rest of the pre-race ceremonies have already taken place. There have been overcast conditions all morning but there should be no trouble getting the entirety of the race in today.
