The start of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season is still 14 weeks away and yet some are tapping defending series champion Alex Palou in the No.10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda took claim his third title on the bounce.
Palou had a phenomenal season in 2024, taking two victories on his way to winning the championship by 31 points from Andretti Global’s Colton Herta.
Palou may have won three championships to date, but he will be hoping that he can challenge for victory in The Greatest Spectacle In Racing, the Indianapolis 500.
Chip Ganassi Racing has had strong cars at the Speedway over the years with Scott Dixon having claimed pile for the race multiple times.
In 2025, there are a lot of changes in store up and down the grid. For one thing, there is a brand new team, PREMA Racing who join the series with a two car full-time program powers by Chevrolet so it will be interesting to see how the team do.
Alexander Rossi moves from Arrow McLaren to Ed Carpenter Racing alongside Christian Rasmussen who steps up to a full-time ride with ECR.
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has a new driver with Louis Foster joining Graham Rahal at the team while Paddock Eye understands that Pietro Fittipaldi will not return to the team in 2025 as he has signed with Pratt Miller Motorsports.
AJ Foyt Racing has a new lineup with David Malukas joining Santino Ferrucci at the team.
Meyer Shank Racing has a new driver with Marcus Armstrong joining Felix Rosenqvist from Chip Ganassi Racing.
Chip Ganassi Racing has scaled back from five full-time cars to three with Alex Palou and Scott Dixon joined by Kyffin Simpson.
Dale Coyne Racing has yet to confirm their line up for 2025 while Juncos Hollinger Racing have also yet to confirm their line up.
It will be extremely interesting to see what happens in 2025. We will only have a small idea of what might happen once cars have been on track during the limited pre-season testing schedule.
