Honda Indy Toronto 2023 Recent Results
Exhibition Place took over hosting IndyCar in Toronto in 1986 and features notable racing names like Al Unser Jr., Michael Andretti, A.J. Allmendinger, and Canadian racing star Paul Tracy.
While previous experience doesn’t mean instant success when you bet on IndyCar, it’s an indicator of which drivers might be more at home on some circuits compared to others. Scott Dixon is the most successful driver at Toronto in the field, having won four times, including last year (2013 x2, 2018, 2022). However, Will Power has three wins at Toronto, with his last being in 2016 (2007, 2010, 2016).
Two other drivers on the grid have won on the streets of Toronto: Simon Pagenaud in 2019 and Josef Newgarden in 2015 and 2017.
Honda Indy Toronto 2023 Betting Preview and Prediction
Álex Palou (+380)
Insidersbettingdigest begins our Honda Indy Toronto prediction with Chip Ganassi Racing’s Álex Palou, who has taken complete control of the 2023 IndyCar Championship. Palou has placed top ten in every race this season and top five in eight of nine races.
Riding a three-race winning streak into Toronto, Palou has won four of the past five races and will be in the mix this weekend for his fifth race win this season.
Scott Dixon (+650)
For Dixon to stay in the IndyCar Championship race, he needs a fifth career win in Toronto. Dixon has finished in the top five four times and the top ten in eight of nine races this season. However, Dixon only has two podiums this season, with his best finish coming last week at Mid-Ohio.
Colton Herta (+800)
Herta is not having a great season, with only two top-five and four top-ten finishes. If there is a beacon of hope for Herta’s fanbase and people who bet on IndyCar, it’s been his two consecutive pole positions, demonstrating that Herta can put it together and out-pace the field over one lap.
Could Toronto finally be the weekend where Herta puts together an excellent race and gets his first win or podium of the season?
Marcus Ericsson (+550)
Before Mid-Ohio, Chip Ganassi Racing’s Marcus Ericsson had finished in the top ten in every race this season. Ericsson secured a 27th-place finish at Mid-Ohio and aims for his second win and fourth podium of the season.
