IndyCar Xpel Grand Prix at Road America in Elkhart Lake leaderboard, starting lineup
The IndyCar Series is racing in the Wisconsin countryside as the Xpel Grand Prix tours the 14-turn, 4-mile Road America course in Elkhart Lake. Rookie Louis Foster won pole position and series points leader Alex Palou starts beside him on the front row for today's 55-lap race. Drivers will have 200 total seconds of push-to-pass, in increments of up to 20 seconds. Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and keep up with coverage throughout the season with IndyStar's motorsports newsletter. We will have a leaderboard, highlights and crashes, so make sure to refresh.

Kyle Kirkwood has won three races. However, Pato O'Ward leads Kirkwood for second place overall. Team Penske swept the podium: Will Power, followed by Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin. From Nathan Brown, IndyStar We're reaching the halfway point of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood have hogged all the checkered flags. Is anyone besides Alex Palou or Kyle Kirkwood allowed to win a race? If so, who? Fortunately ... or unfortunately ... depending your fandom, this feels like an 'Alex Palou rebound' weekend. In four years racing at Road America for Chip Ganassi Racing, he has two wins and took 4th last year. I don't expect him to settle for a bunch of top-5 finishes the rest of the way. Palou's going to win again, and coming off finishes of 25th and 8th since his Indy 500 victory, this feels like the weekend. Team Penske swept the podium last year at Road America but had a horrible time in St. Louis last weekend? How will it fare this weekend? The team will again fall short of its first win of the year, but we'll see a return to the podium for just the fourth time this season, delivered by Will Power, who won last year's race.

Insane Caitlin Clark, WNBA Trend Surfaces After Indiana Fever's Sixth Loss
Insane Caitlin Clark, WNBA Trend Surfaces After Indiana Fever's Sixth Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2025 WNBA season is just over a month in, and the buzz around Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever shows no signs of slowing down. The Fever are 6-6 and in third place in the Eastern Conference, showing improvement after a rocky start. Advertisement When Clark is on the floor, fans are tuning in. That much is clear. Earlier this season, when she missed five games with a quad injury, league viewership noticeably dipped across several national broadcasts. On Saturday morning, a graphic making the rounds on social media showed the 18 most-watched WNBA games since Clark entered the league. The top 17 included Clark and the Fever. Topping the list was the May 17 game between the Fever and the New York Liberty, which drew a record 2.7 million viewers. That broke the previous mark also set by Clark and the Fever against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in September 2024. Advertisement Rounding out the top five were two June 2024 matchups between Indiana and New York and an August 2024 game between the Fever and Seattle Storm. The only game in the graphic that didn't include the Fever was a May 2024 game between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Las Vegas Aces. And that game followed a Fever-Liberty game as part of an ABC doubleheader. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22)© Grace Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Clark is averaging 19.9 points per game in the seven games she's played this season. She struggled in Thursday night's loss at Golden State, finishing with 11 points and seven rebounds while shooting just 3-of-14 from the field. Because she's missed several games, Clark doesn't yet qualify for the official scoring leaderboard. If she did, her 19.9 average would rank eighth in the league. Napheesa Collier leads all scorers at 24.4 points per game.
