Kyle Kirkwood won the IndyCar race at the World Wide Technology Raceway, and the teams are now moving to Wisconsin for the upcoming race, i.e., the 2025 IndyCar XPEL Grand Prix at Road America. The race weekend takes place from Friday, June 20, to Sunday, June 22.

The Teams will revert to the street spec of the IndyCar after the oval race at the WWTR. Detroit GP was the last street race that took place on the IndyCar calendar, with Andretti Global star Kyle Kirkwood coming out on top.

The race will take place at the 4.048-mile-long Grand Prix course at Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The Road America is a 14-turn permanent track facility with a balanced track layout consisting of two long straights and low, medium, and high-speed corners.

The track first featured on the CART/Champ Car calendar in 1982 and continued to be the calendar for the next 25 years (except for 2005). Following the IRL and Champ Car’s merger, the circuit was removed from the IndyCar calendar in 2008.

However, the circuit made a comeback in 2016 when it made its IndyCar debut. The permanent circuit has since then been a consistent part of the IndyCar calendar. Will Power was the race winner of the 2024 race at Road America.

Since being added back to the calendar, Chip Ganassi Racing has been the most successful team around the circuit with 5 wins to their name. Team Penske has four wins, and Andretti Global has one. Will Power, Josef Newgarden, Alex Palou, and Scott Dixon, all four drivers, have two wins each to their name.

Will Power won the 2024 race at Road America while Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin finished just behind him, making it an all-Team Penske podium. Let's have a look at the schedule for the IndyCar XPEL Grand Prix at Road America.
