Overview

• O’Ward started 10th at Exhibition Place and pitted on lap three to ditch soft tires before the first yellow flag triggered his undercut.
• Two subsequent cautions consolidated his track position and propelled him into the lead by midway through the 90-lap race.
• The victory was his second of the 2025 season and the ninth of his IndyCar career.
• Championship leader Álex Palou finished 12th after a differing strategy left him mired in traffic and unable to challenge for the win.
• With the season now 13 races complete, O’Ward sits 99 points behind Palou as the title battle moves on to Laguna Seca.
