What time is IndyCar Toronto race today (July 20)? Start time, driver starting order, and TV channel

IndyCar will race on the streets of Toronto today as the 27 drivers prepare to compete in Round 13 of 17 on the 2025 calendar. Andretti Global's Colton Herta will start on pole position for the 2025 Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto.

The 25-year-old dominated the entire weekend last year, topping all the sessions, and won the race from pole. Herta took his second pole of the season on Saturday as all three Andretti drivers shone on the 11-turn, 1.786-mile street circuit. Marcus Ericsson, who is neck deep in a slump in his second season with the team, secured a respectable P8 starting position.

The unpleasant surprise of the day was Kyle Kirkwood, who 'threw away pole'. He had a big moment on his final lap in Fast 6 and didn't even complete the lap. As a result, he will start no higher than P6.

Alex Palou and Marcus Armstrong recorded personal best qualifying positions in Toronto. The reigning IndyCar champ will join Colton Herta on the front row, with Armstrong and Will Power right behind them. Power's Penske teammates got knocked out in Round 1 of qualifying for yet another weekend.

Graham Rahal was another surprise entrant in the Fast 6 and will start on the third row with Kyle Kirkwood. The streets of Toronto will favor Andretti Global's cars, with Kirkwood expected to join Herta for the battle for the win, with all drivers in for a bumpy ride.
