Early Odds To Win The 109th Indianapolis 500

The anticipation is building as the legendary Indianapolis 500 gears up for its 109th running on May 25, 2025.

Fans and bettors alike are turning their attention to the early odds, with Alex Palou emerging as the favorite to claim victory at The Brickyard.

Currently sitting at 4/1 odds, Alex Palou’s rise to the top of the betting board reflects his exceptional start to the 2025 INDYCAR season.

The Spanish driver has already secured four wins this year, including back-to-back victories in the opening rounds, solidifying his reputation as a dominant force on the track.

Palou’s recent performance has positioned him as the driver to beat in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

Another standout contender is Pato O’Ward, listed at 11/2 odds.

The Arrow McLaren star turned heads with his second-place finish in last year’s Indy 500, and he’s hungrier than ever to take that final step onto the top of the podium.

Meanwhile, Josef Newgarden, the 2024 Indy 500 champion, joins the fray at 13/2 odds.

Newgarden’s proven ability to master the 2.5-mile oval makes him a strong candidate for a repeat victory.

Other notable names include NASCAR’s Kyle Larson (8/1), Scott McLaughlin (9/1), and six-time series champion Scott Dixon (10/1).

Each driver brings unique strengths and momentum to the mix, ensuring fierce competition when the green flag drops.

With Palou’s dominance, Newgarden’s experience, and O’Ward’s determination, the 2025 Indianapolis 500 is shaping up to be as unpredictable as it is thrilling.
