Who won the IndyCar race in Toronto? Complete results, leaderboard, crashes as Pato O'Ward chases Alex Palou
O'Ward, who started 10th, wins the 90-lap event under caution over Rinus Veekay, who turns in a season-best performance. Kyffin Simpson completes the podium with a career-best finish, improving 10 positions from his start. Pole-sitter Colton Herta takes 4th.
Palou finishes 12th after starting 2nd but retains a points lead of almost two full races over Palou with four remaining.
Before today, O'Ward had fared poorly on this track. He had a feeling today would be better when a "bird dropped a load" on his car during the morning warm-up.
Marcus Armstrong comes in 14th after starting 3rd, and Louis Foster tumbles to 21st after starting 7th.
Team Penske has another rough outing: Will Power finishes 11th, while Josef Newgarden (24th) and Scott McLaughlin (26th) crash out.
The series heads to Sonoma for a road-course race next weekend.

Who is leading IndyCar? 2025 IndyCar results
Alex Palou, has won seven races, Kyle Kirkwood three, and Scott Dixon and Pato O'Ward one each. Palou's 129-point lead over second-place O'Ward is more than two races of max points.
IndyCar expert picks, predictions for Toronto from IndyStar's Nathan Brown
Will Power and Colton Herta are tied for 8th with 244 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead?
We've seen it twice this year, and it's largely been the case the last couple years: The Andretti Global street course package is on another level, as we saw last year with Herta and teammate Kyle Kirkwood ran 1-2 for all but four laps of the 85 run on the streets of Toronto (with those four solely coming through pit exchanges). Herta won the last race here and has two poles and three podiums in his last three starts at Toronto. Though there's always a chance that disaster strikes, I'm going to take the odds on Herta.
Santino Ferrucci and David Malukas, A.J. Foyt teammates, are tied for 10th with 237 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead?
Although Ferrucci has finished six of the eight road or street course races better than Malukas, the performance I saw across at the Detroit Grand Prix weekend (other than Malukas' tap to the rear of Alex Palou that earned Malukas an essentially day-ending penalty) leads me to think he has an edge. If he can keep his nose clean and this race doesn't deliver too much chaos — like the ways in which Ferrucci flipped the script for his podiums at Detroit and Road America — I like Malukas this weekend.
Josef Newgarden and Christian Rasmussen are tied for 14th with 207 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead?
Before a mechanical failure ended his day at Detroit, Rasmussen was on for an incredibly strong showing — and then again, Newgarden had to fight hard just for a 9th-place finish there. Both these drivers — and their cars and teams — have shown volatility lately, in terms of results. So give me the veteran driver and more historically successful team. I don't think it's that ever-elusive 2025 win Newgarden continues to hunt, but a top-10 is reasonable, and I'm marginally less confident Rasmussen can match it.

SEGG Media: Three SEGG Stars Light Up Laguna Seca: Ilott, Foster, and Murray Set for Monterey Showdown
By GlobeNewswire Published on July 25, 2025, 22:15 IST MONTEREY, Calif., July 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link. SEGG Media Corporation (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) ('SEGG Media' or the 'Company'), a leading technology company transforming the global intersection of sports, entertainment and gaming today announced that all three and drivers, Callum Ilott, Louis Foster, and Sebastian Murray, will be competing at the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey on one the most iconic circuits in global motorsport: WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. From the legendary Corkscrew to its dramatic elevation changes and high-speed corners, Laguna Seca has long stood as a proving ground for racing's best. For SEGG Media, this weekend is more than a race—it's a showcase of talent, resilience, and the bright future of the SEGG Media Drivers Program. Foster: Qualifying King Looks to Convert Pace into Points Louis Foster, driving the #45 Droplight Honda for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, has become one of the most consistent qualifiers on the IndyCar grid in 2025. His recent run includes an average starting position of 8.4 over the last five races, highlighted by a sensational pole at Road America and a P7 grid slot last time out in Toronto. Having previously dominated at Laguna Seca with a perfect double victory weekend in Indy NXT, Foster is aiming to translate that history into a breakthrough INDYCAR result. 'We've shown what we can do over one lap. Now it's about executing a clean race, staying out of trouble, and grabbing a result we deserve,' Foster said ahead of the weekend. Ilott: The Comeback King Returns to Site of Career-Best Finish Callum Ilott returns to Laguna Seca, where he scored his career-best IndyCar finish of P5 in 2023. After a standout P8 at Toronto, Ilott is finding his rhythm in PREMA Racing's debut INDYCAR season. The British ace has delivered a string of gritty, smart drives—often outperforming the machinery under him. With momentum clearly shifting in his favor, Ilott is a serious threat for another top-10 or better this weekend. 'Laguna is a track that rewards aggression and patience in equal measure,' Ilott said. 'We're coming into it with confidence and data. It's time to go racing.' Murray Cleared for Return: Resilience Meets Redemption Sebastian Murray is back in action in INDY NXT after being medically cleared following his high-speed crash at Mid-Ohio. The 19-year-old Brit, racing for Andretti Cape, has been turning heads all season and is eager to get back behind the wheel at a venue that rewards finesse and bravery. 'We're proud to see Seb back where he belongs—on track,' said Marc Bircham, Director of , a division of SEGG Media . 'He's shown character beyond his years, and we're excited to see what he can do at Laguna.' SEGG Media on the Ground, Focused on 2026 SEGG Media leadership will once again be on-site, holding strategic meetings with RLL, PREMA, and Andretti Cape as part of its growing Young Drivers Academy Program for 2026 and beyond. The vision? To become the premier global incubator of elite racing talent across the INDYCAR, INDY NXT, and international series. 'With three exceptional drivers racing at one of the world's great circuits, SEGG Media is over the moon,' said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of SEGG Media .

Injured Caitlin Clark 'incredibly sad and disappointed' she won't participate in WNBA All-Star game, 3-point contest
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is out of the WNBA All-Star weekend festivities after suffering a right groin injury earlier this week, she said in a statement posted to X on Thursday afternoon. Clark suffered a right groin injury, her fourth muscle injury of the season, on Tuesday night in the final seconds of Indiana's win over Connecticut. "I'm incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can't participate in the 3-point contest or the All-Star game," Clark wrote in part. "I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I'm looking forward to helping Sandy (Brondello) coach our team to a win." Clark was visibly emotional when she suffered the injury. Holding her upper-thigh/groin area after a bounce-pass assist to Kelsey Mitchell, Clark walked over to the stanchion, hit her head against it, then walked over to the bench with tears in her eyes. She was ruled questionable for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, New York, but was downgraded to out after she got some imaging. Fever coach Stephanie White said she was still encouraged by the MRI and said Clark is "day-to-day." But it's of utmost importance that she rests her body as much as possible this weekend. "It's a big deal for us to have All-Star in Indianapolis. And of course, with Caitlin being a focal point of all of that," White said Wednesday before Indiana's game against New York. "As the coach of the Indiana Fever, it's not a bigger deal than our long term season, but it's also part of the fun. So those are conversations that Caitlin will have with her group. I probably won't be a part of those, but we're gonna support her no matter what." The Fever have not specified how long Clark will be out, or the severity of the groin injury. Clark was out for two weeks earlier this season with a left groin injury, then another two weeks with a left quad strain. In all, she's missed 10 of the Fever's 23 regular-season games this year.

No timetable to return for Caitlin Clark, but Fever confirm no additional damage, injuries to groin
INDIANAPOLIS – Caitlin Clark did not suffer additional damage or injuries from a right groin injury suffered July 15, the Indiana Fever announced after Clark went through further medical evaluations earlier this week. There is still no timetable for her return. Clark will continue to work with the Fever's medical team on her recovery, the team said, prioritizing her long-term health and well-being. No further details will be provided at this time, the team said, and any updates will be provided once available. 'These soft tissue injuries sometimes nag until you can actually have time to really allow them to heal in the offseason,' Fever coach Stephanie White said on July 20, before Clark met with those additional doctors. 'So we'll just take it one day at a time and as they come, and this group will continue to progress together.' That right groin injury was Clark's fourth muscle injury of the season. She first missed the Fever's preseason opener with quad tightness, then strained her quad on May 24 and missed two weeks, amounting to five games. Two weeks after her return from the quad injury, she suffered a left groin injury on June 25, keeping her out for another two weeks and four regular-season games. Caitlin Clark may be out for a bit. How do Fever adjust without her? This most recent injury came against the Connecticut Sun, and the pain was evident on her face. She grabbed her right upper-thigh/groin area after a bounce-pass assist to Kelsey Mitchell with about 30 seconds in the game, her eyes immediately welling up with tears. She got imaging done in New York on July 16, which ruled her out for the second game of Indiana's back-to-back against the Liberty and forced her to pull out of All-Star weekend activities in Indianapolis, including the 3-point contest and the game itself. Clark has been averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists (second in the WNBA) and 5.0 rebounds this season, but has been struggling with her shot (36.7% from the field and 27.9% from 3), while dealing with those nagging injuries.
