Top drivers at the Grand Prix of Monterey

Outside of the five title contenders, there is plenty of stiff competition this weekend and it starts with Andretti Autosports’ Colton Herta. The road racing ace has won each of the two races at Laguna Seca since it returned to the IndyCar calendar in 2019.

Arrow McLaren SP’s Pato O’Ward, another recognized road racing ace, won at Barber Motorsports Park earlier in the season and Alexander Rossi won the second Indianapolis road race in August. The rest of the road courses this year were won by one of the five title contenders.

It will be mild (72-76 degrees) with a 25 percent chance of rain for Saturday’s qualifying session. A wet qualifying could result in a mixed up grid, making for even more drama in Sunday’s title decider.
