After the qualifying for the Sonsio IndyCar Grand Prix is concluded, fans look over to the race taking place on Saturday. Alex Palou claimed the pole position for the second race running and would be gunning to complete a three-peat at the event.
The IMS began hosting its second race on the calendar in 2014. It featured the road course layout with 14 turns that reduced the lap distance to 2.439 miles.
Since the race's inception, Team Penske has been the outfit to beat at the track as eight victories have fallen in the Mooresville-based squad's cabinet. Moreover, current driver Will Power is the most successful driver at the track as he has won five races at the fabled circuit.
However, tides have changed in the past few years in the field. Though Team Penske has had great success at the road course, it has not won a race at the road course in the past four years.
Meanwhile, Palou has emerged as the favorite to take home the win as he is on a winning streak at the road course layout. This poses an interesting challenge for the rest of the drivers to beat the Spaniard at a time when he is not putting a foot wrong while driving at the racetrack.
Moreover, he has begun his 2025 championship campaign with stellar consistency. The 28-year-old has already won three of the four races held so far and claimed the runner-up trophy when he was unable to clinch the race victory, showcasing his prowess behind the wheel of a racecar.
