What time is IndyCar race today (July 6)? Start time, starting grid, and TV channel details for Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio

IndyCar will host its 10th round of the 2025 season today (July 6) at Mid-Ohio. Reigning champion Alex Palou refuses to relent, as he starts on pole for the third time this season.

The 2025 Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio will see two young drivers, Nolan Siegel and Kyffin Simpson, starting the race in the Top 6, having recorded career-best qualifying results on Saturday. In a way, Simpson helped teammate Palou in the championship. He was the last driver to get into the Fast 6 in qualifying and knocked out Kyle Kirkwood, the runner-up in the standings.

Honda continues to be the top dog, with Chevrolet having an outside chance at its first win. Team Penske had a triple knockout in Round 1 of qualifying, continuing its disastrous run in 2025.

Will Power admitted that the 13-turn, 2.258-mile Mid-Ohio circuit will favor Honda-powered cars. Chevy's best shot at a victory lies in the hands of Arrow McLaren, with Christian Lundgaard, the unsung star of the first half of the season, starting behind Palou in P2. 2024 winner at the circuit, Pato O'Ward, cannot be counted out even though he starts in P15.

IndyCar still awaits a third race winner in 2025 to steal the limelight from Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood. Home hero Graham Rahal had a subpar qualifying session and will start the race in a lowly P20.

With this basic understanding of the storylines, let us take a look at the full starting line-up for the 2025 Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.
