The 2025 IndyCar Series season is nearing its conclusion, and Alex Palou has wrapped up the series championship with eight wins, most notably the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Kyle Kirkwood has won three races, Pato O’Ward two, and Scott Dixon and Will Power one each.
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
By virtue of finishing two spots ahead, 13th versus 15th, of his neck-and-neck IndyCar Rookie of the Year rival, Louis Foster tacked on another couple points onto what had been a four-point lead over Robert Shwartzman entering this weekend at Portland.
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 Portland race:
