Overview

• Rasmussen pitted under a lap-209 yellow for light rain, then charged from seventh on the lap-222 restart to pass Alex Palou on the outside on lap 235 and win by roughly two seconds.
• Palou started from pole and led 199 of 250 laps but finished second after staying out on older tires, having already secured the 2025 championship.
• Leaders Palou, Scott McLaughlin, and Josef Newgarden protected track position under the caution while Rasmussen, Alexander Rossi, and others took fresh Firestones.
• McLaughlin finished third and joined Palou in saying race control made the correct safety call to throw the caution when droplets appeared on the oval.
• The result marked Ed Carpenter Racing’s first series win since 2021; David Malukas overcame a pit-gun failure to recover to eighth, and Will Power exited after a midrace crash to place 26th.
