Overview

• Álex Palou secured his first oval Speedway win of 2025 by capitalizing on optimal pit timing to win Sunday’s Race 2 at Iowa.
• Pato O’Ward used an overcut in the final pit sequence to claim his first victory of the season in Saturday’s opener and moved up to second in the standings.
• Palou’s back-to-back podium finishes at Iowa underscore his consistency as he eyes a fourth career title.
• Both races featured critical cautions, a late red flag for barrier repairs and razor-sharp pit execution that dictated the outcomes.
• Attention now turns to the Toronto street circuit, where O’Ward will chase points gains and Palou aims to sustain his championship momentum.
