2025 IndyCar Synk 275 race at Iowa Speedway LIVE UPDATES!

Everyone will see this as a perfect pit moment.

Abel seemed to have got caught in the marbles and carried out but Rasmussen made a great dodge to avoid a much worse crash.

Abel in the wall with bad suspension damage, it looks be a large hit to his right front of his car.

Rasmussen hasn't lost his nerves from the earlier close moment he had and is making his way through.

Great move on the mid-high line and he has now made 13 places.

That's 15th for him - Ericsson is next.

It seems drivers are just managing fuel and tyre life as it's key to stay out as long as possible at Iowa.

Daly is still close to Newgarden and is only 0.7s behind.

Rosenqvist has dropped down to eighth from his start position of third. he looks to be really struggling. Santino Ferrucci is next to pass him.

Rasmussen has a massive save drifting around one of the turns - incredibly impressive stuff but McLaughlin seized the opportunity and is already up to 16th.

The gap at the front between Daly and Newgarden is closing most likely thanks to traffic as Abel gets lapped.

The Kiwi is already up to 19th - he's showing what he meant when he said he thought he could've fought for pole.

Newgarden has already caught traffic and it is clear it will become a big factor for the lead.

Next up is Lundgaard.

McLaughlin has done well to make up five positions already. It will be a hard race for him as it is inevitable he will have to work out how to manage leaders coming through.

Christian Lundgaard has already begun to drop down the grid and is currently fending off Devlin Defrancesco.

Palou is already on the podium after an overtake on the highline on Rosenqvist.

Newgarden has another great start - Siegel overtakes Will Power while O'Ward has a look at Palou.

Herta's spin has brought out the Caution - they will get restarted soon.

Lundgaard struggled to get off out of the pits after a presumed stall. He will have time to make places.

After his crash in quali there were concerns he may not start, however, it seems that he will. Let's see what he can do from the back.

If 2025 has taught us anything it's that we shouldn't underestimate Palou. Starting fourth, watch out for him cutting his way up to Newgarden.

Conor Daly has put his Juncos Hollinger in second for the team's best ever oval start.

Here's the starting grid for the Synk 275:
