The 27-driver grid of the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series Championship will next head to the 2.38-mile-long road course Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, for the Children's of Alabama Grand Prix. Two-time Indy 500 winner, Josef Newgarden, leads the win tally with three victories. Driving the #2 Dallara-Honda, Newgarden took the checkered flag in 2015, 2017, and 2018.

The first Indy Grand Prix of Alabama was held in 2010 at Barber Motorsports Park, where Team Penske's Hélio Castroneves emerged victorious driving #3 Dallara Honda.

Since the inaugural race, the road course has seen nine different winners over its 14-year history. Remarkably, in eight of those 14 years, Team Penske, the outfit owned by IndyCar CEO Roger Penske, has claimed victory.

After the fourth and fifth rounds (Sonsio Grand Prix) of the championship, Josef Newgarden will be participating in the 109th running of the race, aiming to achieve a historic feat of three back-to-back wins at the greatest spectacle of motor racing, i.e. Indy 500.

Newgarden is 10th in the championship with 58 points, i.e., 84 points short of the leader, Alex Palou.
