IndyCar Xpel Grand Prix at Road America in Elkhart Lake leaderboard, starting lineup
The IndyCar Series is racing in the Wisconsin countryside as the Xpel Grand Prix tours the 14-turn, 4-mile Road America course in Elkhart Lake. Rookie Louis Foster won pole position and series points leader Alex Palou starts beside him on the front row for today's 55-lap race. Drivers will have 200 total seconds of push-to-pass, in increments of up to 20 seconds. Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and keep up with coverage throughout the season with IndyStar's motorsports newsletter. We will have a leaderboard, highlights and crashes, so make sure to refresh.

Kyle Kirkwood has won three races. However, Pato O'Ward leads Kirkwood for second place overall. Team Penske swept the podium: Will Power, followed by Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin. From Nathan Brown, IndyStar We're reaching the halfway point of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood have hogged all the checkered flags. Is anyone besides Alex Palou or Kyle Kirkwood allowed to win a race? If so, who? Fortunately ... or unfortunately ... depending your fandom, this feels like an 'Alex Palou rebound' weekend. In four years racing at Road America for Chip Ganassi Racing, he has two wins and took 4th last year. I don't expect him to settle for a bunch of top-5 finishes the rest of the way. Palou's going to win again, and coming off finishes of 25th and 8th since his Indy 500 victory, this feels like the weekend. Team Penske swept the podium last year at Road America but had a horrible time in St. Louis last weekend? How will it fare this weekend? The team will again fall short of its first win of the year, but we'll see a return to the podium for just the fourth time this season, delivered by Will Power, who won last year's race.
