INDYCAR

INDIANAPOLIS (April 30, 2025) – Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) will partner with Chip Ganassi Racing and the No. 10 Honda driven by reigning and three-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou at this weekend’s Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.
The No. 10 will carry a striking livery that was featured during this winter’s HRC crossover event in Las Vegas.

Coverage of the race begins at 1:30 PM ET / 12:30 PM CT, May 4, live on FOX.

- On Top with HRC: Driving CGR’s Honda-powered INDYCAR entries, Palou and Scott Dixon have combined to win five of the last seven INDYCAR championships. That includes back-to-back titles by Palou, who leads the championship after three races in 2025. CGR has 14 INDYCAR championships with Honda and four Indianapolis 500 victories, with legendary drivers winning races and championships over the years. This season, CGR and HRC US won back-to-back races with Palou winning the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and the Thermal Club INDYCAR Grand Prix.
