The 2023 season in IndyCar is rolling on, with 7 races now in the books and a familiar face sitting atop the driver standings. While Alex Palou has the top spot, there is certainly no time to think about relaxing, as the races are coming thick and fast and the lead at the top is still tight enough to not be safe. This weekend, the action shifts to Road America in Wisconsin for the Sonsio Grand Prix. Palou’s lead is big enough that we will not see a change at the top after this weekend, but we may well see things tighten up, depending on how things play out, so let’s look at some of the drivers who might be in the hunt on Sunday so you can bet against the IndyCar odds.

IndyCar Betting Analysis and Prediction for the Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America | IndyCar Lines by MyBookie

When: Sunday, June 18 at 1:30 pm ET
Where: Road America
TV / Streaming: USA

Alex Palou

This has been a fantastic season for Palou to this point, as he already has a pair of wins, including last weekend, and had not been worse than 8th in every race this season. He has been particularly hot of late, winning 2 of the last 3 races and finishing 4th in the Indianapolis 500. All of that has helped him to get to 273 points, which means that he is roughly halfway to the point total he had when he won the World Championship in 2021. Palou is very much showing that championship-winning form this season, but his time at Road America last season was not pleasant, so can he improve on his 27th place finish in this race in 2022.

Marcus Ericsson

Last year, Ericsson saw his season get off to a fast start, leading up to a huge win in the Indianapolis 500. It all fell apart after that win, though, with Ericsson losing form as the season progressed, which ended with him finishing 6th overall. He has had a very similar start to the 2023 season, winning the opening race of the year, but failing to get another checkered flag since. He did have a 2nd place finish at the Indy 500 this year, but other than that, recent results have not been great. Ericsson did finish 2nd in this race last season, so look out.

Josef Newgarden

One race does not a season make, so as big as it was for Newgarden to win the Indianapolis 500, that is not going to be enough to carry him to another championship. The win in Indy was his 2nd of the season, but the problem for Newgarden is that he has been a little inconsistent this season. He followed up his huge win with a 10th place finish last weekend, losing ground to Palou in the process and is now sitting 70 points off the pace. He has won this race twice in the last 5 years, so he could be a very good bet this weekend.

Scott Dixon

Dixon’s season is following a very similar path to what we saw from him in 2022, as he is still awaiting his first win of the year. Last season, it was the 10th race of the year before he picked up his first win. We are 6 races into the 2023 season and Dixon has been on the podium just once thus far. He has had a couple of top 5 finishes on this track over the past few years, so that might be the way to wager Dixon this weekend.
