2024 world Allround champion Jordan Stolz, who is expected to compete, looks to win his third consecutive world titles in the 500m, 1000m, and 1500m. Also expected to contend is Dutch skater Jenning de Boo, who recently edged out Stolz by nine hundredths of a second in the 500m at the World Cup event in Heerenveen last week. The American women's team is expected to be headlined by Erin Jackson, who won gold in the 500m at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
ISU WORLD SHORT TRACK SPEED SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS
The 2025 ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships from Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China, begin this Saturday, March 15, at 2 a.m. ET on Peacock. The two-day event will be presented live exclusively on Peacock with same-day coverage on CNBC.

IndyCar Java House Grand Prix at WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca qualifying, starting lineup, time
Championship leader Alex Palou wins pole position for the IndyCar Series race at WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca, his fifth pole of the season. Pato O'Ward — second in the points but not all that close to Palou — also starts on the front row for the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey, a 95-lap race on an 11-turn, 2.238-mile layout. Palou won from pole position in 2024, with Colton Herta and Alexander Rossi completing the podium. Palou has won seven races in 2025, Kyle Kirkwood three, O'Ward two and Scott Dixon one. Palou is 99 points clear of second-place O'Ward with four races to go.

He didn't run away and hide a year ago, but he was clearly the best car from the jump. This year, Palou has won four of the five natural-terrain road-course races — and in the one he didn't (Mid-Ohio), his small silly mistake cost him the win. We haven't gotten a true Alex Palou beatdown of a weekend since the spring, and it feels like we're due. I certainly don't expect a win. I think there's an off-chance we get a podium from either Scott McLaughlin or Will Power. I still think we could get a Penske win before the season ends, but not here. Chip Ganassi Racing has won each of the last three trips to the track, and if I'm making predictions, there's no reason to expect that to change unless something odd happens. Foster has had a better track record both in qualifying performance and consistency, so in a tie with four races to go, I'll give a slight edge to the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing rookie, although I think this very much could be alive until the finale — at an oval, where Prema has gotten the bulk of their strong results this year.

Caio Collet Stays Fast, Sweeps Both Poles at Laguna Seca
INDYCAR Caio Collet pulled off a two-for-one deal Saturday, sweeping the poles for both races in the INDY NXT by Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Collet drove to his first and second poles of the season – and second and third in his career – in the INDYCAR development series, edging championship leader Dennis Hauger for the top spot in both 35-lap races. Race 1 starts at 4:30 p.m. ET today, with Race 2 taking the green flag at 1 p.m. ET Sunday (Both races FS1, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network). SEE: Race 1 Qualifying Results | Race 2 Qualifying Results The pole winner has won the last 10 INDY NXT races at this picturesque 11-turn, 2.238-mile permanent road course adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, which bodes well for Collet. His first career victory, in July 2024 at Mid-Ohio, came from his only other career pole. He also won this season at Road America from the second starting spot. 'Very fortunate,' Collet said. 'It was a little too late in the championship, to be honest, to get our first pole, but better late than never. The team did a phenomenal job since yesterday. 'The car was quite tricky. I made a couple of little mistakes, but I was glad I could pull both laps together. It was a tough session, to be honest. I'm just happy to start on pole for both races.' Collet, who led practice Friday, earned the top spot for the first race with his top lap of 1 minute, 13.2566 seconds in the No. 76 HMD Motorsports car. His second-best lap of 1:13.3283 was good enough for pole for Race 2. Hauger recovered from a rare crash in practice Friday to qualify second for both races in the No. 28 Nammo car of Andretti Global with his top two laps of 1:13.3275 and 1:13.3585. Josh Pierson will start third in both races in the No. 14 HMD Motorsports car after his best laps of 1:13.4363 and 1:13.4499. The mirror-image starting lineups for both races ended starting with the fourth spot. Myles Rowe, winner of the most-recent race at Iowa Speedway, will start fourth in Race 1 after his best lap of 1:13.6423 in the No. 99 Abel Motorsports/Force Indy car. Lochie Hughes, second in championship points, will start fourth in Race 2 with his lap of 1:13.7569 in the No. 26 McGinley Clinic/USF Pro Championships machine of Andretti Global. The third row in both races also featured a mixture of drivers. Callum Hedge will start fifth in both races after his best times of 1:13.5210 and 1:13.7659. Hughes will join Hedge in Row 3 for Race 1, while Rowe will start sixth in Race 2. This is the second and final doubleheader of 2025. Hauger leads teammate Hughes by 76 points with five races remaining this season. recommended Item 1 of 1
