2025 INDYCAR Odds: Alex Palou Favorite For Road America; Josef Newgarden Second
INDYCAR heads to Wisconsin for the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America this weekend and fans can watch the exciting action on FOX. Fans can also dive into the odds for this weekend's race and wager on which driver they think has what it takes to get into victory lane. Kyle Kirkwood won the most recent race at St. Louis. It was his third win of the season. Alex Palou, however, has won five of the first eight — including the Indy 500. And Palou is the favorite to win this weekend, too. Will Kirkwood or Palou get into victory lane again this weekend? Or will Josef Newgarden — the second driver on the board — take the checkered flag?

What is the start time for the IndyCar race Xpel Grand Prix at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis.?
The IndyCar Series returns to the road when it competes at Road America's 14-turn, 4-mile course in the Wisconsin countryside for a 55-lap race. Push-to-pass: Drivers have 200 total seconds, in increments of up to 20 seconds. Tire allotment: Six sets primary (hard/black sidewall) and five sets alternate (soft/red sidewall) for the weekend. Rookie drivers are allowed one additional set of primary tires. Teams must use one set of primary and one set of new (sticker) alternate tires for at least two laps in the race. Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and keep up with coverage throughout the season with IndyStar's motorsports newsletter. Alex Palou has won five races and leads by more than one race of max points. Kyle Kirkwood has won three races. However, Pato O'Ward leads Kirkwood for second place overall. 'A lot of work to do': Alex Palou doesn't think his IndyCar championship lead is safe 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. Who will have a surprising qualifying effort? Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing rookie Louis Foster will make a Fast 6 appearance, a much-needed boost for a team that has seen all three of its full-time cars finish 20th or worse in both races since the Indy 500. RLL has a strong history at Road America. 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. Block the noise: Malukas knows 'I need to mature' on track, 'switch off' rumors When will it happen next?: IndyCar paddock believes 'every oval should be a night race' A matter of eyeballs: Why IndyCar's 1 million viewers is good ... but not as good as it looks (All times ET; all IndyCar sessions are on IndyCar Live, IndyCar Radio and Sirius XM Channel 218) 3:30-4:30 p.m.: Indy NXT practice, FS2 4:30-6 p.m.: IndyCar practice, FS2 10-11 a.m.: Indy NXT practice, FS1 11 a.m.-noon: IndyCar practice, FS1 1:30-2 p.m.: Indy NXT qualifying, FS1 2:30-4 p.m.: IndyCar qualifying, FS1 10 a.m.: IndyCar warmup, FS1 11 a.m.-noon: Indy NXT race, FS1 1:30 p.m.: IndyCar race, Fox TV: Coverage begins at 1:30 p.m. ET, Sunday, June 22, 2025, on Fox.

Five fun ways Indy is celebrating the Pacers' finals run
Game 4 of the NBA Finals is Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Pacers are up 2-1 on OKC and the hype around town couldn't be much higher. The big picture: The Finals run is a historic one — just the second time for the team and the first in 25 years. Should the Pacers win it all, it will be the first NBA title for our basketball-obsessed city and state. Zoom in: Here are five fun ways Indy is celebrating the Pacers' postseason run. 💙 The city is decked out in blue and gold. We never miss a chance to rename downtown streets and dress up the JW. Plus: Just about every bar, restaurant and business has a Pacers flag flying or Yes 'Cers sign in a window. 🏀 The Pacers are making the most of the new Morris Bicentennial Plaza. The plaza was finished in 2023 as part of the Gainbridge Fieldhouse renovation. The plaza has played host to watch parties, after-parties, Pat McAfee's pregame show and endless photo ops. The latest: A massive flower installation from Mr. Flower Fantastic. 💛 The gold-outs in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The atmosphere inside Gainbridge has been on point throughout the postseason and the matching shirts for every single fan add to it. What they're saying: "I was getting chills out there," Pacers star Pascal Siakam said about playing on the home court. 🏁 Indianapolis Motor Speedway is getting in on the action. The pylon, gates and museum are lit up in blue and gold and a Pacers flag is flying high on top of the pagoda. Yes, and: Indy 500 winner Alex Palou continued his Pacers fandom. He arrived at Game 3 in an Indy 500 pace car wearing a Tyrese Haliburton jersey. 👶 The Pacers' littlest fan club! Community Hospital East decked out some of the newest Hoosiers — babies in the neonatal intensive care unit — to cheer for Indiana ahead of Game 3.
