IndyCar Series 2025 drivers championship, Rookie of the Year, Leaders Circle standings
The 2025 IndyCar Series season is looking like a runaway already. Alex Palou has won three races, most recently at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. Kyle Kirkwood won on the streets of Long Beach. Here's where the drivers and teams stand in the season-long points, Rookie of the Year and Leaders Circle races.

Instead, a mid-race off-track excursion left the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver mired in 26th, sandwiched in between his other rookie of the year competitors Robert Shwartzman (25th) and Jacob Abel (27th) as the trio made for the final three spots.
