IndyCar points table: Where drivers stand after 2025 Thermal Club race?

The 2025 Thermal Club Grand Prix was an extremely exciting affair. Chip Ganassi Racing driver, Alex Palou, triumphed in the event by starting his 65-lap outing from third place behind two Arrow McLaren drivers - Pato O'Ward and Christian Lundgaard.

Palou was on it from the get-go and did not put even a single foot wrong during the race. Moreover, during the dying stages, he overtook Lundgaard's teammate O'Ward to secure the Grand Prix win.

Following the podium finishers, Alex Palou, Pato O'Ward, and Christian Lundgaard, the other drivers to end their respective outings toward the north end of the grid were Colton Herta (P4), Felix Rosenqvist (P5), Will Power (P6), Marcus Armstrong (P7), Kyle Kirkwood (P8), Alexander Rossi (P9), and Palou's Chip Ganassi teammate, Scott Dixon (six-time IndyCar world champion).

The extreme southward positions were secured by Marcus Ericsson (P21), Robert Shwartzman (P22), Sting Ray Robb (P23), Louis Foster (P24), Jacob Abel (P25), Callum Illot (P26), and Team Penske driver, Scott McLaughlin (P27).

Following the end of the race, Palou sounded pretty upbeat and added the following:

"What an amazing weekend, honestly, we had a really fast car since practice and they executed very well. Everybody at Chip Ganassi Racing executed perfectly. We knew it was aggressive to start on the used reds, and we knew that we were looking towards the end of the race with our #10 car and yeah, we did it, so back-to-back wins, it feels awesome," Palou said via IndyCar on Fox.
