Three-peat for Newgarden on the Horizon?
Ben 
The 2025 Indy 500 has all the ingredients for an epic showdown at the Brickyard.
Josef Newgarden enters as the two-time defending champion, carrying unprecedented momentum into Memorial Day weekend.
His dominance over the past two years has put him in rare company among IndyCar legends.
Yet there’s another storyline that could steal the spotlight – Helio Castroneves chasing history.
The Brazilian veteran is looking to become the first driver ever to capture 5 Indy 500 victories.
At age 50, Castroneves continues defying time with the same passion and skill that earned him his first win in 2001.
The hunger in his eyes tells you he’s not done writing his legacy at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Racing experts point to the perfect storm brewing between Newgarden’s prime and Castroneves’ experience.
Two champions, two different eras, one iconic race that could cement their places in motorsports history.
The echoes of “Back Home Again in Indiana” will carry extra weight this May.
The ghosts of racing’s past will watch as present-day warriors battle for immortality at the Racing Capital of the World.
When the green flag drops, 200 laps will determine if youth prevails or if age and wisdom drink the victory milk one final time.
The Brickyard’s 2.5 miles have never felt more electric heading into race day.
The only guarantee is that history will be made, one way or another, at the 109th running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
