Honda Achieves Dominance In NTT INDYCAR Series With Multiple Wins In Toronto 2025
Honda has been a formidable force in the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES, securing victories in 11 out of 12 races. The only exception was the first race of the Iowa doubleheader. Honda teams have excelled across various track types, including road courses, street circuits, speedways, and short ovals. This success is shared among drivers from Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Global.
Alex Palou has been a standout performer for Honda, clinching wins at St. Pete, Thermal, Barber, Indy GP, Indy 500, Road America, and Iowa. Scott Dixon added to Honda's tally with a victory at Mid-Ohio. Kyle Kirkwood contributed by winning the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, Detroit, and World Wide Technology Raceway. Palou currently leads the drivers’ championship by 129 points.
