The 2025 IndyCar Series season nearing its halfway point. Alex Palou has won five races, most notably the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Kyle Kirkwood has won three.
Here’s where the drivers and teams stand in the season-long points, Rookie of the Year and Leaders Circle races.

IndyCar Series rookie points
Robert Shwartzman finished 10th at World Wide Technology Raceway, while Jacob Abel finished 21st and Louis Foster 26th after contact.
IndyCar Series Leaders Circle standings 2025
IndyCar’s Leaders Circle program pays eligible teams just over $1 million the following season in guarantees. To qualify for one of the 22 spots, the entry must be associated with one of IndyCar’s 25 charters — teams are allowed to have a maximum of three. Only Prema Racing’s two cars remain unchartered. The 25 chartered cars are then ranked by entrant points and, at the end of this season, the top 22 eligible entries will be paid $1.2 million or more by Penske Entertainment throughout the 2026 season.
Here are the cars around the bubble after IndyCar’s race at World Wide Technology Raceway:
