Here’s what you should know about the odds board:

the favorite

Alex Palou is the initial favorite heading into Road America. For the season, the reigning INDYCAR champion has four wins, five poles and is in first place in the standings with 342 points. He won this race in 2025 after leading only six laps. Even with his disastrous finish two weeks ago at Gateway, he still ranks first in Bob Pockrass’ most recent power rankings.

one to watch

Kyle Kirkwood is certainly one to watch at Road America as he sits second in the standings behind Alex Palou. In fact, he is only 49 points behind the champion for first place. While he didn’t take any poles in 2026, he does have one win under his belt, which was the inaugural Arlington Grand Prix in March. At Road America last year, he nearly made the podium, finishing fourth behind Palou, Rosenqvist and Ferrucci.
