Overview

• Scott Dixon secured his first victory of 2025 and a record seventh win at Mid-Ohio by capitalizing on Palou’s rare slip in turn nine with six laps remaining.
• Alex Palou led the majority of laps after starting from pole but ran off course on lap 85, settled for second, and still stretched his championship lead to 113 points.
• Honda has now powered every race winner this season, underscoring the manufacturer’s dominance.
• Chip Ganassi Racing’s contrasting strategies showed the stakes of pit timing, as Dixon’s two-stop fuel-saving plan outlasted Palou’s three-stop approach.
• Team Penske continued its struggles with none of its drivers reaching the Fast Six and early incidents that eliminated Newgarden and sidelined Power.
