2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES Championship Season winds down with only four races - two dedicated road courses and two oval tracks - left to decide who's best and who's left. Interesting to see the teams in the top 10 in the points championship shows Ganassi Racing, Arrow McLaren, Andretti Global, and Meyer Shank Racing each with two drivers where Team Penske has only one and the surprise showing of AJ Foyt Racing also with one driver in the ranking. This observation leaves Ed Carpenter Racing, Dale Coyne Racing, Juncos Hollinger Racing, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, and first season PREMA Racing out swinging and scratching their heads as to what do they need to do to be a Top 10 competitor.

Palou’s Dominance And Power’s Contract Drama: The 2025 INDYCAR Season Unfolds Post R13 Toronto

With only four races remaining in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, the championship battle has taken an intriguing turn following the Toronto event. Alex Palou holds a commanding lead with 536 points, positioning him as the frontrunner for a potential three-peat and a fourth title. A recent analysis from the Motorsports and Car Culture Committee of the MPG suggests that Pato O'Ward, trailing by 99 points, faces a steep challenge to overtake Palou, needing victories in all remaining races - each worth 50 points - while Palou finishes 12th or worse, a scenario deemed highly improbable by Motorsports Journal Managing Editor Edmund Jenks.
