From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
We're in the back half of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood are the only drivers to take checkered flags.
Is anyone besides Alex Palou or Kyle Kirkwood allowed to win a race? If so, who?
Marcus Ericsson. Of all the drivers in the field sorely in need of a pick-me-up, the fact that Ericsson sits 21st in points just a single top-10 is one of the year's biggest headscratchers. And yet, he heads to a track where he's finished in the top 6 in 4 of his last 5 starts, and where he started and finished 5th a year ago. He's finished on the podium here before (2021, runner-up), and this is a track where Andretti Global has shown speed in years past.
Who will have a surprising qualifying effort?
Colton Herta snags his second pole of the year at a track where he's started on pole twice before and also qualified on the front two rows in each of his last five starts. Let's give away the full Fast 6: Herta's Andretti teammate Kyle Kirkwood, Arrow McLaren teammates Pato O'Ward and Christian Lundgaard, and Alex Palou and Scott McLaughlin. Ericsson narrowly misses out, and Team Penske teammates Will Power and Josef Newgarden make stunning in Round 1.
What is something no one sees coming? Amazingly, we finally get our third winner of the year, as Herta capitalizes from pole. He has only done that in two of his last 10 pole starts. It will be his 10th career victory and Andretti Global's fourth of the year, its most since 2018.

How to watch NSW Waratahs vs British & Irish Lions Lions: Live stream the 2025 rugby game for FREE
From a tactical viewpoint, you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who considers Owen Farrell a better replacement for the injured Elliot Daly than, say, Blair Murray or Tom Jordan (the latter of whom is already on tour in New Zealand). From a neutral perspective, it's pure gold. Can the Waratahs turn the media circus to their advantage? You can watch Waratahs vs Lions live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE. The Waratahs vs Lions live stream takes place on Saturday, July 5. • Time: 6 a.m. ET / 3 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. BST / 8 p.m. AEST• FREE STREAM — RugbyPass TV (U.S.)• STREAM — Sky Sports (U.K.)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free It's not just that Farrell is the son of Lions coach Andy Farrell. The former England captain's last taste of competitive rugby came two months ago, and he only lasted 18 minutes. He hasn't played international rugby in nearly two years, and even then, his boot-heavy approach is at complete odds with the expansive style that his father is trying to implement. The opening game defeat to Argentina aside, it's been plain-sailing for the Lions, who've hammered Western Force and the Queensland Reds by a combined score of 106-19, scoring 16 tries in the process. Farrell Sr. has made 14 changes to the lineup that will take to the field at Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday, with Huw Jones the only man to retain his place. It's a big risk. Northampton duo Fin Smith and Alex Mitchell take over from Finn Russell and Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadhg Beirne takes the armband and, fresh from winning the Top 14, Blair Kinghorn makes his Lions debut at left wing. Triston Reilly and Langi Gleeson carry the threat for the New South Wales outfit. Here's how to watch Waratahs vs Lions live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free. If you're in the U.S. you're in luck, as you can watch a Waratahs vs Lions live stream for FREE. It will be streamed online on RugbyPass TV, along with five further British & Irish Lions tour games.

Rivals Eye Alex Palou as Summer Sprint Starts Sunday at Mid-Ohio
INDYCAR The path to this year's NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship is a six-month marathon, but the final push is more of a sprint. Beginning this weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, the 27 car-and-driver combinations will face eight races over the next nine weeks. Specifically, Sunday's The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the All-New 2026 Passport represents the first of four races in July. SEE: Event Details The remaining schedule is as diverse as it is hectic. This month, there are two road course venues, a short oval hosting two races, and a street circuit. Overall, the rest of the season features four races on ovals, three on road courses and one on a street circuit. The champion will be awarded the Astor Challenge Cup Aug. 31 at Nashville Superspeedway. All told, there are 1,410 laps still be run in 2025. Every race has a green flag, and the one signifying the start of the season's second half comes Sunday at Mid-Ohio. Here are five things to consider in this 90-lap race. Palou on a Mission Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge champion Alex Palou (No. 10 Open Al Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) remains in control of this title pursuit, and he brings a commanding 93-point lead into this weekend's event. In nine races held this season, Palou has won six, finishing second in another. Palou's goal is to clinch a third consecutive series championship and fourth in five years, but he can also earn another significant place in the sport's history. A.J. Foyt (1964) and Al Unser (1970) each won a record 10 races in their most successful seasons. Mario Andretti won nine races in 1969. Palou can reach or even exceed those totals. Palou has won five races at tracks remaining on this year's schedule. He won at Mid-Ohio in 2023 and has a pair of race wins each at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna (site of the July 27 race) and Portland International Raceway (site of the Aug. 10 race). The Spaniard has fared particularly well at Mid-Ohio, finishing on the podium in each of his four races with Chip Ganassi Racing. He finished second last year. Kirkwood the Season's Other Winner Not since 1980 has an INDYCAR SERIES gone this long without realizing a third driver reaching victory lane. This year, Palou has won six races, Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood (No. 27 Andretti Global Honda) has won the other three. That means a host of drivers, including Team Penske drivers Will Power, Scott McLaughlin and Josef Newgarden, along with Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward, Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon and Andretti Global w/Curb-Agajanian's Colton Herta, are still chasing their first season victories. This will be Kirkwood's fourth series start at Mid-Ohio, and he doesn't have a lot to show for the previous three. His best finish came last year when he crossed the line in eighth. He qualified in the third position two years ago. But he did win both 2021 INDY NXT by Firestone races on the 13-turn, 2.258-mile circuit. Dixon Is Mid-Ohio's King Dixon is easily this series' most accomplished driver at Mid-Ohio, winning six of his 21 starts. The driver of the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda also has finished second and third once each. In 2014, he famously drove from the last starting position (22nd) to win. Given Dixon's past success at Mid-Ohio, this would seem to be a good opportunity for the New Zealand driver who turns 45 later this month to extend his record streak of seasons with at least one race victory. His count is 20 consecutive years, a run that began with a late-season win in 2005 at Watkins Glen International. Dixon's career total is 58 series wins, which ranks second all-time to Foyt's 67. But Dixon is winless in the past 20 races dating to last year's victory in Detroit. Last year at Mid-Ohio, he finished 27th after a mechanical gremlin bit him ahead of the race's official start, and he completed only 40 laps. Next Winner: O'Ward? McLaughlin? Newgarden? If someone other than Palou or Kirkwood is going to win a race this season, it's likely he will do so this weekend at Mid-Ohio, a track which has produced eight different winners in the past eight races. O'Ward won last year's race, chasing down Palou, who had led 53 of the first 56 laps. The driver of the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet led the final 24 laps. Palou won the 2023 race, and before that it was McLaughlin, Newgarden, Herta, Power, Dixon and Alexander Rossi driving to victory lane. Graham Rahal (2015) is also a former series race winner at Mid-Ohio. That makes nine former winners in this field, something no other event on the season schedule can match. Other Items of Interest Aside from the many different race winners, Mid-Ohio's podiums have recently been predictable. Chip Ganassi Racing has produced the second-place finisher in each of the past four series races at Mid-Ohio. That's Marcus Ericsson (2021), Palou (2022, 2024) and Dixon (2023). Team Penske has had the past three third-place finishes (Power in 2022 and 2023 with McLaughlin last year). One-two finishes by teams are also a regular occurrence at Mid-Ohio. In the series' 138 instances since 1990, this track has had 16 of them, double the eight of the next closest (the former Belle Isle Park circuit in Detroit). Palou and Dixon were the last teammates to sweep the top two positions at Mid-Ohio, in 2023. This weekend's action begins with the first practice at 4:30 p.m. ET Friday (FS2, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network). Television airing shifts to FS1 until the race Sunday afternoon, with the second practice at 10:30 a.m. Saturday and qualifying for the NTT P1 Award beginning at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, the warmup practice is at 9:30 a.m. ET. The race broadcast on FOX starts at 1 p.m. recommended

Three-Way Title Fight Reaches Middle Rounds at Mid-Ohio
INDYCAR The INDY NXT by Firestone season hits a pivotal point this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. After a dominant start to the year by Dennis Hauger and Andretti Global, the championship momentum has shifted, and the title fight is suddenly wide open. SEE: Event Details With four wins in the first five races, Norwegian rookie Hauger leads rookie teammate Lochie Hughes by 28 points and sophomore driver Caio Collet by 70. Collet arrives in Ohio fresh off his first win of the season June 22 at Road America, ending Andretti's perfect 2025 start and injecting life into HMD Motorsports' campaign. Collet also knows his way around the 13-turn, 2.258-mile circuit. He won from pole here last year, snapping Andretti's decade-long dominance at Mid-Ohio as the team has triumphed in 10 of the last 11 races. Hughes, meanwhile, has found his stride, with a pair of wins this season and back-to-back podium finishes boosting his stock heading into the weekend. Last year's Mid-Ohio race saw the top three in the standings fill the podium. After a similar sweep two weeks ago at Road America, don't be surprised to see Collet, Hauger and Hughes lead the charge again in Sunday's 35-lap INDY NXT by Firestone Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio airing at 10:30 a.m. ET on FS1, the FOX Sports app and the INDYCAR Radio Network. Pierson Ascending At just 19, Josh Pierson already has 30 INDY NXT by Firestone starts. But the rising American talent is still hunting for his first podium finish. That long-awaited milestone may come on Sunday at Mid-Ohio. In his second full-time season, Pierson enters this weekend fifth in the championship standings, 123 points behind Hauger. Despite that gap, consistency has been his calling card. He's finished ninth or better in all seven races this season, including two fourth-place finishes in his last three starts. His latest podium near-miss came at Road America, where he ran third until Hughes slipped past on the final lap, denying Pierson his maiden trip into the top three. Mid-Ohio might just be the track where things click. Pierson finished ninth here in both 2023 and 2024, but with growing experience and momentum, a top-three finish isn't out of reach. Mid-Ohio Is Ideal Spot for Rowe's First Win Myles Rowe heads to Mid-Ohio with momentum, history and a growing sense that his first INDY NXT by Firestone victory is around the corner. Rowe secured his sixth top-five finish of the season at Road America and sits fourth in points, 101 back of Hauger. Quietly consistent all year, the ABEL Motorsports with Force Indy driver has shown the pace, racecraft and maturity of a front-runner. It's just a matter of putting it all together. That could happen this weekend. History suggests Mid-Ohio is a fertile ground for breakthrough wins. In each of the past three seasons, a driver claimed their maiden INDY NXT victory at Mid-Ohio. Hunter McElrea did it for Andretti Global in 2022. Louis Foster broke through for the same team a year later. And then Collet accomplished the feat last season. Rowe is a proven winner across the junior categories at Mid-Ohio, claiming victory in both USF Pro 2000 (2023) and USF2000 (2022), where he finished first, first and third in a dominant triple-header showing. As a sophomore, Rowe returns to Mid-Ohio with more experience, confidence and perhaps the perfect conditions for a breakout. If Mid-Ohio continues its trend of crowning first-time winners, Rowe may be next in line. Papasavvas Returns Home Evagoras Papasavvas takes on his home race this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, driving the No. 24 entry for HMD Motorsports. This is the fifth and final confirmed race of the season for the Ohio resident, who transitions into his reserve driver role with the team for the remainder of 2025. A spring test at Mid-Ohio for the team led to Papasavvas' maiden start May 4 at Barber Motorsports Park. He qualified third and finished second in his series debut. He also finished 10th and 13th, respectively on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on May 9-10 and 12th at Road America. Sleepers To Watch While the spotlight has centered on title contenders like Hauger, Hughes and Collet, a pair of sophomore drivers, Jack William Miller and Bryce Aron, could steal headlines this weekend. Miller, 21, has quietly put together his most consistent stretch in INDY NXT competition. Coming off a seventh-place finish at Road America, where he qualified fifth, the ABEL Motorsports driver sits eighth in points, boasting four top-10 finishes in the last six races. That's a big leap forward from 2024, when he only earned two top-10's all season. This is Miller's first year under the ABEL Motorsports banner after Miller Vinatieri Motorsports merged with ABEL's operation over the offseason. The results speak for themselves. Miller's upward trajectory could continue at Mid-Ohio. Aron, 21, also has found new life since joining Chip Ganassi Racing after the St. Petersburg season opener, where he raced for HMD Motorsports. After a slow start with CGR with three straight 15th-place finishes, Aron began to settle in by picking up two top-10 finishes in the last three races, highlighted by a season-best ninth at Road America. Last year, Aron competed for Andretti Global and had eight top-10 finishes. He's starting to look like a driver who could crack the top five with the right progression. Track Specs: 2.258-mile, 13-turn road course Qualifying Record: Caio Collet, 1:10.2879 (115.650 mph), July 6, 2024 Push To Pass Parameters: 150 seconds of total time with a maximum time of 15 seconds per activation recommended
