Full IndyCar schedule for 2025 Iowa double-header: Where to watch, timings and everything you need to know

After concluding the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio on July 6, IndyCar immediately heads westward to Newton, Iowa. The premier American open-wheel series will host its first and only double-header of the season at the Iowa Speedway from July 11 to 13.

At Mid-Ohio, IndyCar finally found its third race winner of the season in Scott Dixon. The six-time series champion displayed a fuel-saving masterclass on a two-stopper strategy to beat teammate Alex Palou, who made two uncharacteristic blunders in the race, the second of which cost him the lead and the victory. Nonetheless, it gave CGR its second 1-2 result this season.

It was Dixon's 59th race win in the series, and finally, a driver other than Palou or Kyle Kirkwood stood on the top step of the podium in 2025. Honda earned its 10th consecutive victory of the season, with Christian Lundgaard in P3 as Chevrolet's best performer.

However, Chevy is a favorite going into the Iowa double-header. Team Penske dominated the track in 2024, with Scott McLaughlin winning Race 1 and Will Power winning Race 2. The short ovals favor the Roger Penske-owned team and Chevy-powered cars, in general.

With that said, let us take a look at what the weekend schedule looks like.
