The NTT IndyCar Series tackled the historic Milwaukee Mile on Sunday, with 250 laps deciding who would walk away with a special tool-themed trophy at the end of the day.
Christian Lundgaard stormed to his first IndyCar victory, taking advantage of fresh tires in the final laps to fly past five cars to take the top spot. It was Ed Carpenter Racing’s first win since 2021.
Alex Palou led the most laps, but ended the day second after Rasmussen slid past. McLaughlin similarly was hampered by old tires, and rounded out the podium in third.

There were a high number of cautions and high number of pit stops, as drivers looked to change to fresh tires nearly every 50 laps.
Unfortunately, the cautions came with disappointment as Callum Ilott, Will Power, and Nolan Siegel all failed to see the checkered flag.
Only one more race left on the 2025 IndyCar calendar, with a tilt around the Nashville Superspeedway coming up next weekend.
