IndyCar is in the midst of a stretch featuring five races over four weekends, and race number four on weekend on number three is set to take place this Sunday afternoon as the series leaves the United States for the one and only time in 2025.

The traditional knockout qualifying format is set to be used to set the full starting lineup for Sunday's 90-lap Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto around the 11-turn, 1.786-mile (2.874-kilometer) temporary street circuit on the streets of Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Last year's race weekend was completely dominated by Andretti Global's Colton Herta, who topped the speed charts in every session, took the pole position, and won the race ahead of teammate Kyle Kirkwood. Herta, who is already eliminated from championship contention just 12 races into the 17-race season, has yet to win in 2025, while Kirkwood has won three times.

Three-time series champion Alex Palou, who leads the championship standings by 129 points over Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward, has a best finish of second place in three starts in Toronto. Though he has 18 career wins, including a modern era record seven so far this year, he has never won an IndyCar race outside of the United States.

No driver has won in Toronto after starting behind the front row since Team Penske's Josef Newgarden won from seventh on the grid in 2017. Even though the track didn't host races in 2020 and 2021, that is still a long stretch that illustrates the importance of qualifying on this tight street circuit.

Follow along with our live qualifying updates from Exhibition Place.
