Here's what to know about the oddsboard:
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 sits first in the standings with 342 points. He won this race in 2025 after leading only six laps. Even with his disastrous finish two weeks ago at Gateway, he's still sitting first in Bob Pockrass's most recent power rankings.
One To Watch
Kyle Kirkwood is certainly one to watch at Road America, as he sits second in the standings behind Alex Palou. In fact, he's only 49 points away from the champ for first place. While he hasn't earned any poles in 2026, he does have one win under his belt, which was the inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington back in March. At Road America last year, he barely missed the podium, finishing fourth behind Palou, Rosenqvist and Ferrucci.
