Overview

• Louis Foster lost traction in the marbles and slid into the outside wall before colliding with leader Josef Newgarden, sending Newgarden’s car airborne and flipping it on the oval.
• Both drivers climbed from their machines under their own power, were evaluated at the infield care center, and released without serious injuries.
• Race control held yellow flag conditions for over 20 minutes while crews cleared debris and repaired the SAFER barrier.
• IndyCar’s aeroscreen and halo structure were credited with preventing severe harm in the violent impact.
• Kyle Kirkwood prevailed after the restart to record his first oval victory, fending off Pato O’Ward and becoming one of only two race winners in 2025.
