The IndyCar season began today on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla. Alex Palou starts the season right, claiming his first win here.
Chip Ganassi Racing driver Scott Dixon may be a veteran, but he's still sharp. This and more in our conclusions from IndyCar's opening round.

Alex Palou got his IndyCar title defence off to a perfect start, as the triple champion won the 2025 opener in St. Petersburg. But for much of the race he wasn’t even in the fight, as trouble in the final set of pitstops derailed Scott Dixon’s bid.
If Scott McLaughlin’s bad days are going to look like what transpired on Sunday at St. Petersburg, the Team Penske driver will be a serious threat to win the championship. Starting from pole, the New Zealander and his No.
IndyCar season-opening weekend had it all: great, tight racing; few on-track incidents; plenty of parity; an outstanding broadcasting debut with FOX Sports and so much more – all with nary a negative item.
