The Indy 500 isn’t just the most notable IndyCar Series race, it’s arguably the most popular annual race across all leagues. The event has been going on since 1911 and enters its 109th race in 2025.
Robert Shwartzman won the qualifying for the Indy 500, so he will have the top spot in Sunday’s event. He’ll be joined by Takuma Sato and Pato O’Ward in the first row.
O’Ward is the favorite to win the 2025 Indy 500 at +500 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. Alex Palou has the second best odds at +550 and Josef Newgarden has the third best at +750.
Newgarden won the last two Indy 500s, so he’s looking to complete the three-peat.
The Indy 500 will take place on Sunday, May 25 at 12:45 p.m. ET at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana.
