The 2025 NTT IndyCar series hits Thermal Club, California today (Sunday, March 23) for round two of the season.
Last time out in St. Pete, the new campaign got underway in exciting fashion, with Alex Palou coming out on top and showing exactly why he is a three-time champion. Palou beat the likes of Scott Dixon, Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin on that occasion, with all three no doubt keen on bouncing back and taking their own victory this weekend.
NOTE: There has been a technical issue with the race broadcast, with FOX confirming: 'Our INDYCAR production truck has an electrical issue. We are working to get it fixed as quickly as possible'. The race is still in progress.
Talking of bouncing back, one driver who will certainly have his eyes on doing exactly that is McLaren star Pato O'Ward.
The Mexican driver managed just P11 in St. Pete, but will start today's race on pole after he and McLarern team-mate Christian Lundgaard locked out the front row in qualifying.
The McLaren star could get his championship challenge back on track with a win today and it will certainly be fascinating to see if he can convert his pole into a victory.
With all that said, let's get into today's details below, including timing information and how you can watch the action unfold live!
