My Hy-Vee Homefront 250 Analysis

We are seeing the victories shared across several different drivers this year, with Pato O’Ward the latest to get a win that puts him right back in the championship conversation.

Things could get even more interesting this weekend, as we have a doubleheader event coming our way.

This is a real opportunity for drivers to pick up big points and mix things up in the standings.

While we have two races this weekend, we are focusing on the Saturday race, which goes at 8 PM EST.

Let’s take a look at some of the current leaders.

Àlex Palou

The mark of a true champion is being able to still pick up a lot of points in the races that you don’t win.

That is exactly what Palou is doing this season, as he looks to pick up his 3rd world championship in the last 4 seasons.

Alex did not win last weekend, but he did run 2nd in that one, which means that he stretched his lead on the majority of the pack.

He has done this all season long, with only 1 race where he failed to really make a mark.

This Iowa track has not been kind to him, though, with just 1 podium finish in his last 4 attempts. Still, it’s tough to count him out of a top 3 finish.

Will Power

After winning the Road America race a few weeks ago, a victory that put him into the top spot in the driver standings, Power has cooled off in the last 2 races.

He finished 11th and 7th, respectively, which is not good enough for any driver looking to take a run at the championship.

Power has lost some ground now, but I think he has a real shot at getting back in the hunt this weekend.

He has been on the podium in Iowa in 3 of the last 4 races there, so he is a solid top 3 pick.

Pato O’Ward

As we mentioned at the top of this piece, O’Ward won the most recent IndyCar race, forcing his way into the top 3 in the driver standings in the process.

It has been a strange sort of season for O’Ward, as he opened with a bang, winning the first race of the season, before going on a poor run of form over the next 3 races.

He has slowly clawed his way back to form, culminating in his win last time out.

O’Ward has won on this track, and he was in the top 3 in his last 4 runs in Iowa.

Scott Dixon

This is another driver in need of a reversal of fortune after some poor showings over the last 3 races.

Dixon has proven time and again in his career that he should never be counted out, He already has a couple of wins this season, but you do have to wonder if he can get on the podium this weekend.

In his last 4 races in Iowa, he has only been in the top 5 once, so wager on Dixon at your own peril.
