US EditionChristian Rasmussen Wins First Career IndyCar Series Race
Christian Rasmussen, 25, earned his first IndyCar win at the Milwaukee Mile, capitalizing on a late rain-induced tire advantage to overtake Alex Palou, who led 195 laps, officials said.
- Christian Rasmussen secured his first NTT IndyCar Series victory for Ed Carpenter Racing at the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 in the penultimate round on Sunday.
- Having been handed a full-time seat by Ed Carpenter, Christian Rasmussen entered 2025 after winning the 2023 INDY NXT championship and showed strong oval form with the third-best average finish this season.

- Rasmussen's triumph makes him the first new series winner since Christian Lundgaard in mid-2023, achieving this milestone in his 30th career IndyCar start.
- About 19,000 fans filled the grandstand as State Fair Park holds a 2026 contract with extension talks expected, while Dennis Hauger secured the INDY NXT title for Andretti.
