Season report

Opening rounds

The 2026 IndyCar season started like the year before, with a pole position for Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.[68] He led Andretti's Marcus Ericsson throughout the first stint of the race, handling an early restart after a three-car collision caused by Juncos Hollinger Racing's Sting Ray Robb on the opening lap. McLaughlin pitted on lap 35, with Ericsson following a lap later. Chip Ganassi Racing's defending champion Álex Palou crucially elected to stay out two laps longer to attempt an overcut. That strategy worked and it led to Palou taking the net race lead after his stop on lap 38, before cycling back to the front on lap 42. The only threat to his victory from that point on came through the final stint, where Palou ran hard tires while the others behind ran the quicker soft tires, but Palou consistently pulled away throughout the final part to win the race by almost 13 seconds. Andretti's Kyle Kirkwood looked set to take second before both McLaughlin and McLaren's Christian Lundgaard overtook him on lap 94.[69][70]

The Good Ranchers 250 marked IndyCar's return to Phoenix for the first time since 2018. Team Penske's David Malukas earned his first career pole position after beating teammate Josef Newgarden in qualifying.[71] He controlled the opening part of the race, which saw an early caution on lap ten. On the restart, JHR's Rinus VeeKay made contact with Palou while attempting to pass him, sending the points leader into the wall and out of the race. Malukas held first place until the first pit cycle, where McLaren's Pato O'Ward took over in front. ECR's Christian Rasmussen rose up the order during the next stint, and a timely second caution allowed him to dispatch then-leader Kirkwood with fresher tires. Andretti's Will Power attacked Rasmussen for the lead and the pair made contact, causing a puncture for Power and a third caution. Newgarden was among the drivers electing to pit and quickly moved from tenth to the lead. He took the win and the points lead ahead of Kirkwood and Malukas, while Rasmussen dropped to fourteenth with a damaged car.[72][73]

The Java House Grand Prix of Arlington brought a new track as well as a new top-six single-lap shootout qualifying format, in which Ericsson took his first career pole position.[74] Palou qualified second, with the pair leading the field until they both pitted on lap 16. An error by Ericsson's pit crew saw him fall behind Palou, with O'Ward and Kirkwood slotting in behind. Lap 27 saw both Andretti cars make their second stops, with Palou and O'Ward following a lap later before Kirkwood got past Ericsson for a net second place. The pit stops promoted Power to the front, albeit on a less favorable two-stop strategy that saw him extend his second soft-tire stint until lap 45. By that point, Palou had nullified the gap to him and took over at the front. The top two took their final pit stop on lap 49, and Kirkwood, the fastest man on track at that point, reeled in Palou to claim first place with 16 laps to go. The race ended under caution after a multi-car collision, handing Kirkwood the win and with it the championship lead as Power rounded out the podium.[75][76]

Round four, the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix, saw Palou take pole position in qualifying ahead of Malukas and RLL's Graham Rahal.[77] The top three remained static after the start until Rahal took second place on lap 17. Malukas pitted two laps later, with Rahal following suit and Palou holding out on hard tires on until lap 27. Lundgaard, who also started on hard tires, rose from tenth to third in his first stint. Palou took his second pitstop on lap 45, seven seconds ahead of Rahal, who stopped one lap later. Lundgaard pitted on lap 50, overcutting Rahal to move into second place. Lundgaard cut Palou's advantage to 3.4 seconds during the penultimate stint, until the Spaniard stopped for the final time on lap 64. Lundgaard stayed out longer again and looked set to challenge Palou through an overcut, but a slow 17-second stop saw him rejoin behind Rahal. Palou, now leading comfortably, took victory to cut the championship gap to two points. Lundgaard was able to repass Rahal, who held on to third to take his first podium since August 2023.[78][79]

MSR's Felix Rosenqvist secured pole position in qualifying for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, besting O'Ward by just 0.04 seconds.[80] Palou started third and immediately passed O'Ward for second place on lap 2. Rosenqvist controlled the pace for the first 31 laps until the leaders made their first tandem pit stops. Rosenqvist maintained his lead over Palou as they both transitioned to the alternate tires. He managed to build a three-second lead during this second stint, before a piece of debris triggered the event's only caution period on lap 57. The field pitted on lap 59, leading to a direct duel between the top two drivers' pit crews. Palou's stop took 7.3 seconds, while Rosenqvist was stationary for 8.4 seconds, leading to him losing the lead as CGR's Scott Dixon took third place. After the lap 61 restart, Palou quickly began gapping the field, while Dixon had to work hard defending from Kirkwood. Palou claimed his maiden victory at Long Beach to also move back into the championship lead, 17 points ahead of fourth-place finisher Kirkwood.[81][82]

Palou earned his third consecutive pole position for the Sonsio Grand Prix after leading every session of the event.[83] The race began with a multi-car collision in turn 1 that collected Dixon, O'Ward, Rosenqvist and A. J. Foyt's Caio Collet. Palou and Kirkwood formed the top two during the early stages, until lap 21, when ECR's Alexander Rossi stopped on the front straight with a mechanical failure. Only a local yellow was initially thrown to allow most of the field to pit, a decision that led to criticism and a change in procedures post-race.[84] Palou and Kirkwood stayed out and therefore dropped back when they pitted under the belated full-course yellow. Malukas inherited the lead and held it until lap 68, when Lundgaard made a decisive pass through turns 5 and 6 to claim first place. He maintained the lead to claim his second career victory and end a 47-race winless drought as Malukas took a career-best second place and Rahal completed the podium in third. Palou recovered to fifth to extend his championship lead over Kirkwood to 27 points.[85]

Mid-season rounds

Pole position for the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 went to Palou once again, ahead of Rossi and Malukas.[86] Palou and Dixon controlled the early stages, trading the lead to manage fuel consumption. Rain arrived at the speedway around the halfway point, forcing a red flag on lap 105. Upon the resumption, a distinct strategy split developed; Malukas and Palou opted for a late pit stop to run at full power, while Rosenqvist and O'Ward attempted to reach the finish by conserving fuel. The tactical battle was neutralized on lap 192 when a crash for Collet caused a red flag for cleanup. Rosenqvist led the subsequent restart, but was overtaken by teammate Marcus Armstrong before a final caution on lap 197 set up a one-lap shootout. Malukas took the lead into turn 1, with Rosenqvist and Armstrong side by side behind him until turn 4, where Rosenqvist slingshotted past Malukas to win by 0.0233 seconds, the closest margin in race history. Palou, seventh, grew his lead to 32 points despite being docked five points for a technical infringement.[87][88]

Qualifying for the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix saw Palou continue his one-lap dominance as he claimed another pole position.[89] At the green flag, Palou maintained his lead while McLaughlin overtook Power for second place. He returned to second following an early caution, before taking the lead on lap 17. He lost out to McLaughlin and Lundgaard when his tires faded on lap 35, before the frontrunners pitted and Palou returned to the front through an undercut. Palou's team then opted for a green-flag pit stop on lap 63, a move which would prove crucial when a caution was triggered three laps later, forcing Kirkwood, who had inherited the lead, to pit under yellow. That promoted Palou back into the lead and Rossi to second, before the latter had to take a drive-through penalty. Three more cautions punctured the final part of the race. Kirkwood pressured Palou at each restart, but was unable to find a way past. Palou maintained control to secure his fourth victory of the season, growing his championship lead over Kirkwood to 62 points.[90][91]

The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 brought another pole position for Palou, who set a speed over a mile an hour faster than the rest of the field.[92] He led the opening 30 laps, before Ericsson, who had started 12th, surged through the field to take the lead on lap 47. Two red-flag periods totaling 52 minutes due to rain punctured the race on laps 137 and 200. Following the second red flag, the race's primary contenders were split by strategy as Dixon and Palou attempted to save fuel to make one less stop. That gamble backfired; Dixon was forced to pit for emergency service while the pits were closed and Palou ran out of fuel right as he entered the pit lane and dropped down the order. On the final restart, Newgarden and Rasmussen engaged in a multi-lap duel, trading the lead four times before Newgarden secured the top spot on lap 221. Ericsson then moved past Rasmussen, but was not able to challenge for the lead in the final laps. With Palou finishing 17th, Kirkwood in sixth was able to trim Palou's championship lead to 49 points.[93][94]

Palou continued his pole position streak at the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America, becoming only the fifth driver in series history to take five consecutive P1 starts.[95] Malukas and Armstrong lined up behind him, before the latter immediately took second place at the start of the race. Palou held his lead and controlled the opening part of the race, briefly ceding the lead to Rosenqvist at the halfway point. A pitlane speeding penalty for Palou on lap 29 and a caution one lap later saw Armstrong emerge as the new leader ahead of Malukas and Rossi. Behind them, Lundgaard, who had dropped to last after lap-one contact with Dixon, climbed up the order on fresh tyres. He passed Malukas for second on lap 49 and closed on Armstrong, who was denied a maiden victory when his engine expired while leading on lap 52. That handed the lead to Lundgaard, who defended a late restart before completing his last-to-first run to take victory ahead of Malukas and Power. Palou recovered to fifth, now 60 points ahead of new second-placed driver Malukas.[96][97]

Lundgaard was the driver to end Palou's qualifying streak by taking pole position for the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio ahead of teammate O'Ward.[98] At the start of the 90-lap race, Lundgaard maintained his lead, while the field remained orderly through the opening stages. The McLaren pair remained at the front throughout the race, except for when they pitted, with Lundgaard keeping ahead of O'Ward until lap 42. There, Lundgaard drifted wide exiting turn 2, allowing O'Ward to pull alongside. Despite the two cars touching twice at the exit of turn 4, O'Ward utilized the preferred line into turn 5 to seize the lead. The race proceeded entirely caution-free, with O'Ward extending his stint before the final pit cycle to maintain his advantage. The Mexican was therefore able to claim his first win of the season and the tenth of his career, finishing 0.987 seconds ahead of Lundgaard to secure Arrow McLaren's first-ever 1-2 finish. Kirkwood finished third, allowing him to retake second in the standings, 56 points behind Palou, who finished the race in fifth.[99][100]

Up next was the season's fourth oval race, the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix, where Kirkwood claimed pole position ahead of Newgarden.[101] The race, shortened for heat forecasts and then postponed to Monday due to rain, saw Kirkwood initially hold his lead, before the lead group pitted under caution on lap 19. McLaughlin overtook the leader on pit road and cycled back to the front on lap 61. A second caution fell on lap 122 for a collision between Dixon and Rossi; Palou pitted just before the yellow and inherited the lead once the front-runners made their delayed stops, moving ahead for good by lap 131. On their final stops, Newgarden, Rosenqvist and Malukas took on the soft alternate tire, while Palou stayed on the harder primary compound. A caution with 31 laps to go brought Newgarden and Malukas onto Palou's back, but he was able to keep both behind despite his harder tires. Palou's fifth win of the season saw him extend his championship lead to 83 points, with Malukas taking third to reclaim second in the standings.[102][103]

Closing rounds

The OnlyBulls Grand Prix of Portland kicked off a five-race run over four consecutive weekends with Rosenqvist securing pole position ahead of Palou.[104] At the start of the race, the field successfully navigated the opening chicane without major incident, and Rosenqvist maintained the lead for the first 30 laps. During the first round of pit stops, Palou stayed out longer than Rosenqvist and utilized an overcut strategy to overtake the Swede. Newgarden, who had pitted during an early caution, assumed the lead until he stopped on lap 37. That handed Palou the lead, and he used clean air to build a six-second lead. The next pit cycle began on lap 56, with Palou taking on hard tires and Rosenqvist electing to use soft tires. That tire advantage saw Rosenqvist close up to the leader, but he was unable to make a move before both made their final stops. During the following final stint, Rosenqvist came under threat from Power, who had fresh soft tires, but the top three remained static as Palou's sixth win of the year saw him amass a 110-point lead.[105][106]

Unfinished track construction saw track action for the newly established Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham delayed to Saturday. RLL's Louis Foster took the track's inaugural pole position in qualifying[107] and led Lundgaard until a caution on lap 14 prompted the Dane to pit. Foster followed suit during a second caution on lap 33 and began working his way back up the order until he crashed and retired attempting to pass Ericsson for third on lap 43. DCR's Romain Grosjean, who had assumed the lead, was then able to pit under caution when Kirkwood suffered an identical crash on lap 53. That handed the lead to Ericsson, who built a 13-second gap before making his final stop on lap 69. Grosjean, now back in front, fended off Palou before Ericsson and Power closed in on the top two. After contact with Power and a pass on Palou, Ericsson overtook Grosjean for the lead with five laps remaining to secure his first victory for Andretti. Power was able to get past Palou for third as the Spaniard extended his championship lead to 142 points.[108][109]

Palou claimed pole position by over half a second for the special one-off Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C.,[110] but lost his lead right after the start when Kirkwood overtook him into turn 3. Kirkwood led Palou until a multi-car collision on lap 36 allowed both to pit under caution. When exiting his pit stall, Palou hit equipment of the adjacent box and incurred a drive-through penalty. Rahal assumed the lead after electing not to stop under caution and held off the field on the restart before another collision ensued. The next restart happened on lap 50, after which Kirkwood quickly overtook those who stayed out to resume his lead. Palou suffered a loose wheel on his next pitstop, dropping a lap down, before he eventually spun and crashed on lap 123. The following restart saw McLaughlin attempt a move on Kirkwood that ended with McLaughlin crashing out. Kirkwood controlled the final restart, gapping Lundgaard and Power to secure his second victory of the season and cut Palou's championship lead to 91 points with three races left.[111][112]

Engine manufacturer standings

The top-two finishing full-season eligible entrants for a manufacturer in each race score points toward the engine manufacturer's championship. Points scored are the same as the driver's championship except for bonus points – a race win is worth five bonus points for a manufacturer, while a pole position is worth one bonus point (except at the Indianapolis 500). A full-season entry is eligible to score manufacturer points until it exceeds the maximum number of allowed engines per entry.

For Indianapolis 500 qualifying, the manufacturer that runs the fastest speed on Saturday receives one bonus point; while the manufacturer that qualifies on pole position receives two bonus points.

  8. ↑ Kyle Kirkwood, Álex Palou and Will Power tied for most laps led at Arlington. Kirkwood received the bonus points for most laps led by virtue of being the highest-placed finisher, based on IndyCar rule 7.3.6.2.
  9. ↑ Scott McLaughlin, Álex Palou and David Malukas, the fastest three qualifiers, were assessed 9-place grid penalties for unapproved engine changes. Pato O'Ward, who qualified 4th, was the highest-placed driver not to have a penalty, and thus started the race from pole position. McLaughlin earned the pole award and the pole-winner's championship point.
