The news caused a sensation on social media.
After teammate Lexie Hull's NTT Indycar series at Indianapolis Raceway in February, fans have been wondering if Clark will somehow be associated with the Indy 500.
A fan asked, “Will the Indy 500 fail Caitlin Clark Flag Waver Moment?
Another fan said: "Tip 'Caitlin Clark's 500 Competition Day participation' speech. Instead of playing around the country on the eve of the 500s, like she did earlier this year, she had a fever at home that Saturday until the road race next Wednesday."
"Want to know if Gainbridge is related to W's consultation with Indy who left her on the game weekend?" questioned a user.
Another user commented: "Clark should be driving a paced car, but since the racing stadium has screwed up this option, she's better off waving the green flag."
The Indy 500 was held on Sunday, May 25, but there were several practice sessions on Monday as well as Sunday's qualifying matches.
