In 2025, Alex Palou kicked off May with a victory in the Sonsio Grand Prix on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Based on the odds, it’s likely that Palou will find himself in the winner’s circle again this Saturday when INDYCAR returns to IMS on May 9 (4:30 p.m. ET, FOX).
Given that Palou has already taken the checkered flag three times this season, are there any other drivers whose chances are worth taking?
Here are the latest lines from DraftKings Sportsbook as of May 7.

Here’s what you need to know about the odds table:
Big favorite: It doesn’t look like Alex Palou’s dominance is going to slow down any time soon. As noted above, he has already won three of five races since the INDYCAR season began in March. With a lead of 186 laps, Palou occupies first place in the standings and has the shortest chance of winning the title again. Last season he started from pole and led 29 laps before winning the race.
One to watch: Although his odds of winning at IMS of 20/1 are a bit longer than Palou’s, Graham Rahal is one to watch. In that race in 2025, he started second and led 49 laps before finishing sixth. He finished second at this course in 2015, 2020 and 2023. He is currently 10th in the INDYCAR standings, with one top five and three top 10s.
