Overview

• Pato O’Ward won the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto by switching from alternate to primary tires on lap three and capitalizing on early caution periods.
• The victory marked O’Ward’s second win of the 2025 season and came on Exhibition Place’s 11-turn temporary street circuit, the only NTT IndyCar race held outside the U.S.
• Rinus VeeKay secured second place for Dale Coyne Racing, while Kyffin Simpson climbed from 13th to earn his first career IndyCar podium.
• Scott McLaughlin’s lost wheel on lap two triggered the first caution, and a series of incidents reshuffled running orders and amplified the importance of pit-stop timing.
• O’Ward’s triumph cut Alex Palou’s championship cushion from 129 to 99 points with four races remaining, setting the stage for a tighter title battle.
