The 2025 Indy 500 is set to be an exciting event.  A rookie will start on the pole, Robert Schwartzman.  This will be his first oval race.  He is 8-1 in the odds.  The favorite is Pato O'Ward at 5-1.  Alex Palou and Scott Dixon are also strong contenders at 11-2 and 13-2 respectively.  The odds for the Indy 500 are a mix of experience and surprise picks.

Kyle Larson, a NASCAR star, is attempting a double, racing in both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600.  His day will start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and end at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  Should he be considered for bets?  It's a tough call.  He is an 18-1 longshot.  The starting grid is set, and predictions are in.  A proven projection model simulates every race 10, 000 times.  It considers track history and recent results.  This model has a strong track record.  It predicted several NASCAR and Formula 1 winners accurately.  It's worth checking out the model's picks for the Indy 500.

One surprise pick is Alexander Rossi.  He is an 18-1 longshot.  Rossi is with a new team this season.  He has a history of strong performances at the Indy 500.  He finished fourth last year and has cracked the top five in five of his last seven appearances.  His experience at the track makes him a valuable bet.  Another shock is Josef Newgarden.  He is a two-time defending champion.  However, he is struggling this season.  He has finished 10th or worse in most races.  His team, Team Penske, is also struggling.  They don't have any wins or runners-up this season.  Newgarden is battling history.  No one has ever three-peated in the Indy 500.  The odds are not in his favor.

The model also targets two other drivers with long odds.  These drivers could make a serious run at the checkered flag.  It's worth considering these picks.
