Indianapolis is the 500. A.J. Foyt once said, "If it wasn't for the Indianapolis 500, none of you would've ever heard of me." The same might be said of Indianapolis.
No cautions. No one can challenge Alex Palou. That's IndyCar in 2025.
Palou, of Chip Ganassi Racing, feels no heat after starting from the pole at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama in winning his third of four races this season. Palou finishes 16+ seconds clear of the field in the 90-lap race on the 17-turn, 2.38-mile road course that features 80 feet of elevation change.
How far out front was Palou? He had 63 of his 200 push-to-pass seconds available at the finish. "I was a little lonely out there," he told Fox post race.
Race runner-up Christian Lundgaard of Arrow McLaren, who started 7th, is second in the season points championship but is more than a full race behind Palou. Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin, the winner at Barber the past two years, completes the podium.
Scott Dixon improves 14 places and finishes 12th. Louis Foster falls 14 places and finishes 26th.
For the third straight race, there are no cautions. The only laps run under a yellow flag this season were the first 6 in the season-opener at St. Petersburg.

'Those guys are crazy': Formula 1 points leader respects IndyCar, but Indy 500 not for him
Going green: Why has IndyCar had 1 caution? Drivers weigh in
From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
Race winner: Six pole position winners have won the 14 IndyCar stops at Barber Motorsports Park, and 11 winners have started on the first two rows). Expect Christian Lundgaard's Arrow McLaren teammate Pato O'Ward to start toward the front, too (O'Ward has made the Fast Six the last four years at Barber). Other teams will have a tough time working around them. The 1-2 finish Arrow McLaren personnel dreamed of at Thermal comes through at Barber.
Something you might not expect: Felix Rosenqvist logs his first podium finish since joining Meyer Shank Racing. This isn't entirely unexpected – the Swedish driver has snagged top-5 finishes each of the last two races and four overall with the team – but it will mark MSR's first podium in nearly three years (Simon Pagenaud, 2022 IMS road course), coming at a track Rosenqvist finished 4th at a year ago.

Katherine Legge feels 'passionate' about NASCAR transition
Katherine Legge has raced anything and everything. Her storied career includes four Indianapolis 500 starts, most recently in 2024. She found success in sports cars, competing in multiple endurance classics, such as the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. With last month's Indy 500 not on Legge's racing radar in 2025, she switched her attention to NASCAR. It's a move that happened by chance, though she first felt the adrenaline of stock car racing in 2018, making four Xfinity Series starts for JD Motorsports. Advertisement She fell in love with stock cars immediately, with a best finish of 14th at Road America. 'I loved it and wanted to do more, I just didn't know how to go about it,' Legge told about her move to NASCAR. 'I'm lucky that my sponsors pivoted with me and we're all in on NASCAR. 'It was something that I felt incredibly passionate about doing. I have so much fun doing it and am so motivated. I'm working hard at it. I really want to make this home.' RELATED: e.l.f. Cosmetics to sponsor Legge for multiple Cup, Xfinity races The joy for Legge in her first go-around was jostling the heavy cars around road courses. Her oval debut in NASCAR came at Richmond Raceway in 2018, finishing 28th in a 40-car field. Advertisement 'It's super fun to drive the cars; you were wrestling with them the whole time,' Legge reflects on her initial voyage. 'It's like Champ Car — we had to wrestle those beasts around the track. '[NASCAR is] not easy. It's one of the hardest championships to chase in the world because of the strength and depth. There are so many good drivers over here that are widely versed in stock car racing.' Legge began hunting for rides in February when the 2025 season began. She made her Cup debut for Live Fast Motorsports at Phoenix Raceway, though she was initially eyeing Circuit of The Americas one week prior as her first attempt. Her initial race didn't go as planned as she was involved in multiple incidents and contacted Daniel Suárez in the process, ending his day. 'It was a big uphill battle, but I respect the challenge and am not blind that it is a challenge going in with a team that wants to set out to be a entry to people like me into Cup,' Legge said. 'They know where they are at and what they want to achieve. It was going to be my first foray and fly under the radar and that didn't happen. I wanted to use it to gain experience.' Katherine Legge smiles next to her NASCAR Cup Series car. After bowing out of full-time competition, Live Fast team owner BJ McLeod wants to turn his part-time entry into a developmental ride to help rising talent. He's aware of Legge's credentials and hopes to get her acclimated, with their next opportunity slated for Sunday at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City (3 p.m. ET, Prime Video, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). Advertisement MORE: Mexico City schedule | Cup Series entry list for Mexico City 'It's the toughest thing that she's ever come across,' McLeod said of Legge adapting to the Cup Series. 'I don't know that she would tell you that, but I can tell you that the group of drivers that get to do [Cup] every week are truly some of the best drivers in the world. All of them are that good. Not one, not 20, not 30, all 36 or however many are there. They truly are that good, and it makes it extremely difficult for her because even if she's equally as talented, she doesn't get to race every week. She is the only part-timer that's trying to get out there, get up to speed and she has very limited stock car experience.' Chevrolet paired Legge with Jordan Anderson Racing in the Xfinity Series following her introduction to Cup racing. The goal was to get the England native more starts. In addition to full-time drivers Jeb Burton and Blaine Perkins, Anderson occasionally fields a third entry. With limited on-track experience, he believes Legge has done a masterful job getting up to speed, even though the results would indicate otherwise. Advertisement 'I know she's been baptized through fire coming in this way,' Anderson said. 'With [25] minutes of practice, it's hard enough to learn a track, let alone a new car. 'The speed is there if we make her comfortable. I've been impressed with her time in the sim and how she adapts and the things she picks up, the time she has spent studying. This isn't a fly-by-night project for her; she's wanting to prove her worth and come in here and learn and do the right things.' It was key that Legge diversified her schedule. She also wanted to run consecutively, beginning with NASCAR's return to Rockingham Speedway. She failed to qualify, but the team struck a deal with Joey Gase Motorsports to field her. She led a lap in her second start at Talladega Superspeedway and was running midpack when she was collected in a multicar incident that began towards the front of the field. She has DNF'd in three of four starts and failed to qualify in the series' most recent race at Nashville Superspeedway. 'It's been good, bad and indifferent,' Legge said. 'I have been taken out in every race in some form or another. The only one that I think was down to me was Phoenix, which started it all. After that, it's been a lot of carnage.' Katherine Legge drives an Xfinity Series car at Talladega. Legge is delighted that her two car owners are fellow racers with McLeod and Anderson. She has leaned on them, along with AJ Allmendinger, whom she's known for two decades, and Xfinity veteran Justin Allgaier. Advertisement Compared to other racing series, Legge believes breaking into NASCAR is the hardest. She has limited oval starts and is going to new venues. The divisions are also stacked with established talent. 'NASCAR is especially challenging for the sheer number of good drivers,' Legge added. 'It's a tough beast to tame, but I'm up for the challenge.' While overcoming multiple hurdles in Legge's short NASCAR stint, she has learned plenty about herself. She is up for any racing task, though she believes she was humbled in some ways. 'I thought that I was a lot better than I am,' Legge admitted with a chuckle. 'I have no doubt that I'll get there. But how quickly? I thought I would drive the car a couple of times and then be up at the sharp end, but it's taking a little longer than I anticipated.' Advertisement The next beast for Legge to tame is the Cup Series' international debut at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez this weekend, again competing for Live Fast. Her second half of the season continues filling up, with Cup starts at the Chicago Street Race, Sonoma Raceway, Watkins Glen International and Richmond Raceway on the docket. She has a pair of Xfinity Series races left in the No. 32 car at EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway) and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, though she is trying to bulk up her racing allotment. MORE: Cup Series schedule | Xfinity Series schedule The goals for the upcoming events are to log laps and gain experience. 'Bottom line, I'm not going there looking to outpace anyone,' McLeod admitted. 'What I'm expecting is to go there and give her a solid car so that she can learn and develop her skills and try to get her closer to reaching her goals.' Legge hopes to go full time at some point in NASCAR, though she isn't shutting the door on running the Indy 500 again.

2025 Indy 500 pole sitter Robert Shwartzman has pitstop crash
PREMA Racing driver Robert Shwartzman (83) prepares to put on his helmet Sunday, May 25, 2025, ahead of the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis 500 rookie pole-sitter Robert Shwartzman stood 29th after a disastrous pit stop Sunday on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. Shwartzman slammed into some of his pit crew and the inside wall on a Lap 86 pit stop. One of his crew members is taken to the infield care center. Shwartzman requires a front wing change. Advertisement He blamed cold tires in an interview on the Fox broadcast. "As soon as I touched my breaks, my car just go," he said. Shwartzman had a slow first pitstop during a Lap 25 caution. Shwartzman led the first eight laps until Pato O'Ward passed him on a restart. The 25-year-old Israeli was the first rookie to start from the pole position since Tony Stewart in 1996. Stewart moved up one place on the starting grid after pole-winner Scott Brayton was killed in a post-qualifying crash. Shwartzman was the first rookie to earn the pole based on speed since Teo Fabi in 1983. The most recent Indy 500 rookie winner was Alexander Rossi in 2016. Ray Harroun (1911, the first Indy 500), Frank Lockhart (1926), Graham Hill (1966), Juan Pablo Montoya (2000) and Helio Castroneves (2001) also won as rookies.
