Here’s what you need to know about the odds board:

The favorite

Alex Palou is the early favorite heading into Road America. On the season, the reigning INDYCAR champion has four wins, five poles and is first in the standings with 342 points. He won this race in 2025 after leading just six laps. Even with his disastrous finish at Gateway two weeks ago, he still sits atop Bob Pockrass’s latest power rankings.

One to watch

Kyle Kirkwood is definitely one to watch at Road America as he sits second to Alex Palou. In fact, he is only 49 points away from the champion for first place. Although he hasn’t earned any poles in 2026, he does have one win under his belt, which was the inaugural Grand Prix at Arlington back in March. At Road America last year, he narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth behind Palou, Rosenqvist and Ferrucci.
