Published: Wednesday, July 9, 2025, 21:50 [IST]

Honda is aiming to extend its winning streak in the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES. The manufacturer has secured victories in all 10 races this season, setting a record since the series resumed multi-manufacturer competition in 2012. Honda last won at Iowa Speedway in 2018 with James Hinchcliffe. Currently, Honda leads Chevrolet by 214 points in the manufacturers' standings.

The upcoming Sukup INDYCAR Race Weekend is unique as it features the only doubleheader on the 2025 schedule. Saturday's Synk 275 starts after 4 PM CT / 5 PM ET, while Sunday's Farm to Finish 275 begins at 12 PM CT / 1 PM ET. This tight schedule challenges teams to quickly resolve any issues between races.

Three drivers have dominated this season's victories. Alex Palou has won six races, including St. Petersburg and the Indianapolis 500. Kyle Kirkwood claimed wins at Long Beach and Detroit, while Scott Dixon triumphed at Mid-Ohio. Palou leads the drivers' standings by 113 points over Kirkwood, with Dixon fourth, trailing by 148 points.

The Honda lineup for the series includes notable drivers from various teams. Andretti Global features Colton Herta and Kyle Kirkwood, both race winners. Chip Ganassi Racing fields Scott Dixon and Alex Palou, both champions and Indianapolis winners. Other teams like Dale Coyne Racing and Meyer Shank Racing also contribute to Honda's strong presence.

Fans can catch Saturday's Synk 275 live on Fox at 4 PM CT / 5 PM ET, while Sunday's Farm to Finish 275 airs at noon CT / 1 PM ET on Fox as well. Friday's practice sessions will be available on FS2, and Saturday's qualifications will be broadcast on FS1.

The competition remains intense as Honda seeks its first Iowa win since Hinchcliffe's victory in 2018. The manufacturer's dominance this season underscores its competitive edge over Chevrolet in the ongoing battle for supremacy in the series.
