What to Watch for at Iowa Speedway

  • Eleven would be heaven, and we'd like 12 for ourselves: Honda has gone 10 for 10 so far in the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. 10 races in a row in a single season is an IndyCar record since the series returned to multi-manufacturer competition in 2012. Honda is looking for a first win at Iowa since 2018 when James Hinchcliffe took victory, marking his sixth IndyCar win. Honda currently leads rival Chevrolet by 214 points in the manufacturers' points, 915-701.
  • Three's company: All 10 races this year have been won by just three drivers-with Alex Palou scoring victory at St. Petersburg, Thermal, Barber, the Indy GP, the Indianapolis 500 and Road America; Kyle Kirkwood took wins at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, Detroit Grand Prix and World Wide Technology Raceway; and Scott Dixon broke through last Sunday to add his name to the list of winners with a stellar fuel mileage victory at the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the All-New 2026 Passport. Palou currently leads Kirkwood by 113 points in the drivers' championship standings, while Dixon's win moves him up to fourth, 148 behind Palou.
  • Double the races, double the fun: The Sukup INDYCAR Race Weekend is the only doubleheader race weekend on the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule, and presents a unique challenge for the teams and drivers. Saturday's Synk 275 goes green after 4 PM CT / 5 PM ET, while Sunday's Farm to Finish 275 is in the early afternoon (12 PM CT / 1 PM ET). The schedule gives teams a very small window to rebound from any potential issues from race one to race two.
