Overview

• A caution with 20 laps remaining after Scott McLaughlin brushed the Turn 2 wall set up a restart with 11 to go, and Josef Newgarden held off Palou as McLaughlin finished third.
• Pole-sitter Pato O’Ward led 116 laps before a right‑front tire failure on Lap 127 put him in the wall; Firestone said the race’s tire problems were caused by cuts rather than excessive wear.
• The win was Newgarden’s first of 2025 and the 32nd of his career, extending his streak to 11 consecutive seasons with at least one IndyCar victory.
• Palou completed a dominant campaign with eight wins including the Indianapolis 500, having secured the championship earlier this month.
• David Malukas was airlifted to a local hospital after a hard crash in contact with Louis Foster, and medical staff said he was awake and alert.
