What is the start time for the IndyCar race at Laguna Seca?
The IndyCar Series goes to wine country to compete at WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca in the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey, a 95-lap race on an 11-turn, 2.238-mile layout. The series is finishing a busy stretch of five races over four weekends. Pato O'Ward has won two of the last three race but still trails points leader Alex Palou by 99 points. Push-to-pass: 150 seconds total in increments of up to 15 seconds. Tire allotment: Five sets primary and five sets alternate to be used during the event weekend. Rookie drivers may use one additional set of tires in the first session. Teams must use one set of primary and one new set of alternate tires unless wet conditions are declared. Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and keep up with coverage throughout the season with IndyStar's motorsports newsletter. Alex Palou has won seven races, Kyle Kirkwood three, Pato O'Ward two Scott Dixon one. Palou is 99 points clear of second-place O'Ward with four races to go. Alex Palou won from pole position, with Colton Herta and Alexander Rossi completing the podium. Alex Palou swept the pole and race in 2024. Is it going to be one of those weekends? As much as I'd love for the championship fight to get tighter, Palou has exceled here. He didn't run away and hide a year ago, but he was clearly the best car from the jump. This year, Palou has won four of the five natural-terrain road-course races — and in the one he didn't (Mid-Ohio), his small silly mistake cost him the win. We haven't gotten a true Alex Palou beatdown of a weekend since the spring, and it feels like we're due. How will Team Penske fare this weekend? I certainly don't expect a win. I think there's an off-chance we get a podium from either Scott McLaughlin or Will Power. I still think we could get a Penske win before the season ends, but not here. Chip Ganassi Racing has won each of the last three trips to the track, and if I'm making predictions, there's no reason to expect that to change unless something odd happens. The Rookie of the Year race couldn't be tighter. Who has the edge between Louis Foster and Robert Shwartzman? Foster has had a better track record both in qualifying performance and consistency, so in a tie with four races to go, I'll give a slight edge to the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing rookie, although I think this very much could be alive until the finale — at an oval, where Prema has gotten the bulk of their strong results this year.

Photo Gallery: Pato O'Ward wins IndyCar race in Toronto
Mexico's Pato O'Ward has always enjoyed the sights and sounds of Toronto, it's just the IndyCar Series race around Exhibition Place he didn't like, struggling year after year on the street course. O'Ward finally won the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto on Sunday, for the seven-year veteran's first victory in Canada. A pep talk from Arrow McLaren team principal Tony Kanaan to the crew the night before, some solid strategy, and a little bit of luck made the win happen. Rinus VeeKay of the Netherlands finished second and Kyffin Simpson of the United States placed third. Defending champion Colton Herta, who started in pole position on Sunday, was closing in on Simpson with a handful of laps to go when a caution solidified the podium. Here are some scenes from the race weekend. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 20, 2025.

Who won the IndyCar race in Toronto? Complete results, leaderboard, crashes as Pato O'Ward chases Alex Palou
Pato O'Ward picks up his second win in the past three IndyCar Series races and cuts into Alex Palou's points edge on the streets of Toronto. O'Ward, who started 10th, wins the 90-lap event under caution over Rinus Veekay, who turns in a season-best performance. Kyffin Simpson completes the podium with a career-best finish, improving 10 positions from his start. Pole-sitter Colton Herta takes 4th. Palou finishes 12th after starting 2nd but retains a points lead of almost two full races over Palou with four remaining. Before today, O'Ward had fared poorly on this track. He had a feeling today would be better when a "bird dropped a load" on his car during the morning warm-up. Marcus Armstrong comes in 14th after starting 3rd, and Louis Foster tumbles to 21st after starting 7th. Team Penske has another rough outing: Will Power finishes 11th, while Josef Newgarden (24th) and Scott McLaughlin (26th) crash out. The series heads to Sonoma for a road-course race next weekend.

They file out in 16th (Palou) and 18th (Dixon). They hope to complete the race with one more pit stop, while others may need two. Lap 37 restart: Multi-car pileup after Jacob Abel hits the wall. His car comes to rest on top of Josef Newgarden. Caution. Lap 35: Alex Palou and Scott Dixon stay out while most of the field pits. Kyle Kirkwood spins entering pit road after getting tapped by Marcus Armstrong. Lap 30: Alexander Rossi has a shredded right rear tire after making contact with the wall. Caution.

Foyt Racing driver Santino Ferrucci crashes at the end of the warm-up session, and after about an hour of trying to repair the car, the team announces Ferrucci is out today. He had qualified 23rd.

Palou's 129-point lead over second-place O'Ward is more than two races of max points. IndyCar expert picks, predictions for Toronto from IndyStar's Nathan Brown Will Power and Colton Herta are tied for 8th with 244 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead? We've seen it twice this year, and it's largely been the case the last couple years: The Andretti Global street course package is on another level, as we saw last year with Herta and teammate Kyle Kirkwood ran 1-2 for all but four laps of the 85 run on the streets of Toronto (with those four solely coming through pit exchanges). Herta won the last race here and has two poles and three podiums in his last three starts at Toronto. Though there's always a chance that disaster strikes, I'm going to take the odds on Herta. Santino Ferrucci and David Malukas, A.J. Foyt teammates, are tied for 10th with 237 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead? Although Ferrucci has finished six of the eight road or street course races better than Malukas, the performance I saw across at the Detroit Grand Prix weekend (other than Malukas' tap to the rear of Alex Palou that earned Malukas an essentially day-ending penalty) leads me to think he has an edge. If he can keep his nose clean and this race doesn't deliver too much chaos — like the ways in which Ferrucci flipped the script for his podiums at Detroit and Road America — I like Malukas this weekend. Josef Newgarden and Christian Rasmussen are tied for 14th with 207 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead? Before a mechanical failure ended his day at Detroit, Rasmussen was on for an incredibly strong showing — and then again, Newgarden had to fight hard just for a 9th-place finish there. Both these drivers — and their cars and teams — have shown volatility lately, in terms of results. So give me the veteran driver and more historically successful team. I don't think it's that ever-elusive 2025 win Newgarden continues to hunt, but a top-10 is reasonable, and I'm marginally less confident Rasmussen can match it.

Mexico's Pato O'Ward has always enjoyed the sights and sounds of Toronto, it's just the IndyCar Series race around Exhibition Place he didn't like, struggling year after year on the street course. O'Ward finally won the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto on Sunday – the seven-year veteran's first victory in Canada. A pep talk from Arrow McLaren team principal Tony Kanaan to the crew the night before, some solid strategy, and a little bit of luck made the win happen. 'It's a big day. It's a very big day,' said O'Ward at the post-race news conference. 'It feels pretty special in a place that has arguably been one of the biggest headaches every single year that we come here.'

The Canadian Press/Frank Gunn Story continues below advertisement Like most of the drivers in the 11-turn, 2.874-kilometre race, O'Ward started on a set of less-favourable alternate Firestone Firehawk tires. He had them switched out in his first pit stop just ahead of a Lap 3 caution. That meant O'Ward only had to use the less-favourable set for the better part of two green-flag laps. Although that strategy forced him into a three-stop race, he was able to run the primary compound the rest of the way.
