Here are the results from the Final Practice session at the 2025 IndyCar Milwaukee 250.
Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon topped the timesheets in the Final Practice at Milwaukee, despite qualifying fifth earlier.
Dixon’s best lap speed of 156.712 mph was slower than Alex Palou’s 163 mph lap in qualifying, both on harder compound tires likely for race simulations.
Due to taking his seventh engine of the season, Dixon faces a six-place grid penalty for Sunday’s race.
David Malukas of AJ Foyt followed Dixon in practice with a best lap speed of 154.871 mph, setting the stage for a competitive race.
Malukas intended to secure his first pole position but was narrowly edged out by Pato O’Ward and Alex Palou in the final qualifying runs.
Palou’s impressive performance in practice solidified his status as a strong contender against Malukas in the upcoming race.
Despite an unfortunate crash in qualifying, Felix Rosenqvist will start from the back of the grid, whereas Nolan Siegel demonstrated a strong pace by finishing third in Final Practice with a lap speed of 154.514 mph.
