Honda Targets Eighth Consecutive Victory At Bommarito Automotive Group 500 In St. Louis
Honda's dominance in the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES is evident with a record-breaking seven consecutive wins. Alex Palou has been instrumental, clinching victories at St. Petersburg, Thermal, Barber, the Indy GP, and the Indianapolis 500 with his #10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. Meanwhile, Kyle Kirkwood secured wins at Long Beach and Detroit for Andretti Global. This streak marks a new milestone since multi-manufacturer competition resumed in 2012.
IndyCar made its return to World Wide Technology Raceway in 2017 after a 14-year hiatus. Takuma Sato was the first to win for Honda there in 2019. Scott Dixon achieved his 50th career win at this venue in 2020 and dominated again in 2023 by lapping all but three competitors. His victory that year remains Honda's last triumph at this track.
The Honda teams are eager to extend their winning streak to eight races this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway. Their impressive performance has given them a substantial lead of 135 points over competitors in the manufacturers' standings, with a score of 635-500.
This season's seven races have seen only two drivers claim victories: Palou and Kirkwood. However, they have only one oval win between them—Palou's Indianapolis 500 victory. While both have shown prowess on ovals before, wins have been scarce. The upcoming race might offer a chance for another driver to shine.
Currently leading the championship by 90 points is Palou, while Kirkwood holds third place, trailing by 102 points. The potential for new contenders to emerge is high as the series returns to an oval track where past performances have varied.
The lineup for the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES includes notable names such as Colton Herta and Marcus Ericsson from Andretti Global, Scott Dixon and Kyffin Simpson from Chip Ganassi Racing, and Graham Rahal from Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
Upcoming Race Details
The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 will be broadcast live on Fox at 7 PM CT / 8 PM ET this Sunday. Fans can catch Friday's practice sessions and qualifications on FS1, with final practice airing on FS2.
As anticipation builds for the next race at World Wide Technology Raceway, Honda aims to continue its impressive run. With strong contenders like Palou and Kirkwood leading the charge, fans are eager to see if they can maintain their momentum or if a new victor will emerge on this challenging oval track.
