The 26-year-old Palou drove home from Mid-Ohio with a massive 110-point edge in the championship over Sunday’s runner-up and Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon.
Alex Palou extended his NTT IndyCar Series winning streak to three with Sunday's win at Mid-Ohio.The winner called his dominant win, "The best moment of my career.”
“I think maybe we’re starting to,” he said with a smile. “But honestly, no, it’s still real tight, as you can see. We’ve been able to do this quite often this year and hopefully we can keep it going.” Palou started 4th in Sunday’s race but it was the second half of the 80-lap event that he really piled it on, building as much as a nine-plus second lead heading into the closing laps.
But the New Zealand native also knows that greatness today could become desperation later in the season. Dixon was in a similar position to Palou in 2015, holding a dominant spot at times in the standings before just barely eeking out the championship. When asked if Palou is unstoppable, Dixon replied, “Anything’s possible. You’re never out of it until you’re out of it. We’ll keep trying as hard as possible.
O’Ward looked relieved after the race and was prepared to reward himself for a job well done: “I’m going to have a big old burger tonight with some French fries and maybe some chocolate ice cream.”If Graham Rahal had one wish that he’d love to see granted, it’s that all races on the NTT IndyCar Series be held at his “home track,” Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Rahal hasn’t won an IndyCar event since capturing both ends of the Detroit Grand Prix in 2017. Since then, his best finish has been runner-up in the 2018 season opener at St. Petersburg, as well as second in the 2020 Indianapolis Grand Prix.
