There are 11 teams set to compete full-time during the 2025 IndyCar season, all with either two or three cars. Only two of those teams did not make any adjustments to their driver lineups following the 2024 campaign.

Josef Newgarden, Scott McLaughlin, and Will Power are set to continue driving the No. 2 Chevrolet, the No. 3 Chevrolet, and the No. 12 Chevrolet for Team Penske, respectively, while Colton Herta, Kyle Kirkwood, and Marcus Ericsson are set to continue driving the No. 26 Honda, the No. 27 Honda, and the No. 28 Honda for Andretti Global.

The other nine teams made more than a dozen total adjustments, and all 27 full-time cars on the grid are set to be driven by full-time drivers in 2025.

Let's have a look at where each team stands ahead of this Sunday afternoon's season opener on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.
