Alex Palou favored to win IndyCar XPEL Grand Prix at Road America

IndyCar crews travel to Wisconsin this weekend for the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America. Betting experts suggest Alex Palou could secure his fifth victory of the season on Sunday, June 21. The race airs at 2 p.m. ET on FOX.

Will Palou recover from his poor result at Bommarito? That previous event saw a flawed pit strategy drop him to seventeenth place. Fans can review the latest odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 16.

The reigning IndyCar champion holds four wins and five poles this season. He currently leads the standings with 342 points. Palou won this specific race in 2025 after leading only six laps. Even following his disastrous finish at Gateway two weeks ago, he remains first in Bob Pockrass's recent power rankings.

Kyle Kirkwood deserves close attention at Road America. He sits second in the standings behind Alex Palou. Kirkwood trails the champion by only forty-nine points for first place. He has not earned any poles in 2026 yet.

However, Kirkwood possesses one win under his belt from the inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington in March. Last year at Road America, he narrowly missed the podium. He finished fourth behind Palou, Rosenqvist, and Ferrucci.
