and last updated

With the Angie's List Grand Prix behind us, it's time to focus on the big race.

Monday is the first day of practice for the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500, meaning drivers are getting their first chance to hit the track ahead of the race.

At 2 p.m. Monday, there will be 4 hours of practice on the track.

A rookie orientation program will begin Monday at noon. It's an opportunity for rookie drivers to get up to speed on the two-and-a-half-mile oval.

If you'd like to come out and catch the excitement in person -- the gates open at 10 a.m.

Practice tickets are $15 for adults and free for kids aged 12 and under, as long as they're accompanied by a paying adult.

If you can't make it, watch it LIVE below.

We're still 13 days away from the race but reserved seating is already sold out for the Indy 500.

But if you'd like to get your hands on some free reserved seats, tune into the RTV6 news at 6 p.m.every evening to enter our Road to 100 sweepstakes.
