IndyCar Honda 200 at Mid-Ohio live updates, leaderboard, crashes, starting grid, TV
Can championship points leader Alex Palou make it 7 wins this IndyCar Series season? He starts from the pole today at Mid-Ohio for a 90-lap race on the 13-turn, 2.26-mile road course. Christian Lundgaard also starts on the front row. Scott Dixon, who starts 9th, has won 6 times here, most recently in 2019. Pato O'Ward, who starts 14th, won in 2024. Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and keep up with coverage throughout the season with IndyStar's motorsports newsletter. We will have leaderboard updates, crashes and highlights, so refresh like you're mashing the push-to-pass button.

Palou's points lead is almost two full races of max points. From Nathan Brown, IndyStar We're in the back half of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood are the only drivers to take checkered flags. Who gets a much-needed podium finish? Marcus Ericsson. Of all the drivers in the field sorely in need of a pick-me-up, the fact that Ericsson sits 21st in points just a single top-10 is one of the year's biggest headscratchers. And yet, he heads to a track where he's finished in the top 6 in 4 of his last 5 starts, and where he started and finished 5th a year ago. He's finished on the podium here before (2021, runner-up), and this is a track where Andretti Global has shown speed in years past. What is something no one sees coming? Amazingly, we finally get our third winner of the year in Colton Herta. He has only done that in two of his last 10 pole starts. It will be his 10th career victory and Andretti Global's fourth of the year, its most since 2018. Pato O'Ward edged Alex Palou at the finish line, swapping their starting positions. Scott McLaughlin completed the podium after starting 7th.

IndyCar Bommarito Automotive Grand Prix near St. Louis qualifying, lineup, time, TV, radio
Will Power won pole position for the IndyCar Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway near St. Louis in Madison, Ill. The Team Penske driver averaged 180.329 mph.

Alex Palou has won five races and leads by almost two full races' worth of max points. Kyle Kirkwood won the other two races. Josef Newgarden held off Team Penske teammate Scott McLaughlin for the win. Since 2019, Newgarden (four times) and Scott Dixon (two) are the only active drivers to win on this track. From Nathan Brown, IndyStar We're seven races into a 17-race season, and two drivers have taken checkered flags. Can a third driver enjoy the spoils? For this exercise, Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood are out of the equation. Who is most likely to earn his first win of the season?: I'll take the driver who's taken pole here each of the last two years and who in five starts in his career at the track is yet to finish outside the top-5: Scott McLaughlin. The Team Penske driver won twice on short ovals a year ago and finished runner-up at WWTR, too. It's been a rollercoaster of a year for McLaughlin, but I think he settles things a bit on Sunday. Something you don't see coming: Alex Palou will have another hiccup and finish outside the top-5, opening the door for his closest competitors in the championship race to chip away at his 90-point lead.

Get to know Indy 500 Josef Newgarden and his No. 2 Team Penske race car
Josef Newgarden is trying to become the first driver to win three consecutive Indianapolis 500s. Helio Castroneves (2001-02), Al Unser (1970-71), Bill Vukovich (1953-54), Mauri Rose (1947-48) and Wilbur Shaw (1939-40) also won consecutive 500s.
