Entry list
This entry list for the tournament would have been used if Jirayu La-ongmanee's name was used instead. La-ongmanee found Takuma Sato to be his 2018 ride after his The Mask Singer participation. He replaced J. R. Hildebrand as a result. As they found a ride in 2018, in Robert Wickens, Volcarona replaced Carlos Muñoz.

Seeds
The top eight of the standings were changed from the 2017 Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma, with Castroneves replaced by Saderd. However, Saderd will race with Castroneves at limited IMSA rounds in 2018 as well as the 2018 Indianapolis 500, due to Saderd's IndyCar full-time role and Castroneves' IMSA full-time role. With Hélio Castroneves moving to the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2018, Pee Saderd chose to take Castroneves' position in the standings for both the Postponed Cup and the 2017 BATC IndyCar Finals.
