2025 INDYCAR Championship Odds: Kyle Kirkwood Moves Up
The first nine races of the 2025 INDYCAR season are in the books, and championship odds are on the move.
Will Alex Palou win it all again? Well, according to the odds, he's sitting firmly in the driver's seat.
Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing
He's won six of the first nine races, including the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 and the most recent race at Road America.
And over the last week, Palou's odds have gotten shorter, moving to 1/20 (bet $10 to win $10.50 total) from 2/11 (bet $10 to win $11.82 total).
While Palou is favored, bettors might want to to keep an eye on Kyle Kirkwood.
Kirkwood — the only other driver with wins on his 2025 INDYCAR resume — surged up the board to 12/1 (bet $10 to win $130 total) from 18/1 (bet $10 to win $190 total) after his win at Long Beach.
Over the past week, he's moved to 9/2 (bet $10 to win $55 total) from 11/2 (bet $10 to win $65 total).
Let's dive into the odds via DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 25.
