Alex Palou's relentless march toward IndyCar history hit a brief pause at The Milwaukee Mile, but the reigning and four-time series champion remains on the absolute precipice of an unprecedented era of dominance.
Starting from the pole in the second race of Sunday’s doubleheader, the 29-year-old Spaniard appeared poised to lock up the season title early. Driving the #10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, Palou controlled the pace for much of the afternoon, leading a race-high 115 of the 250 laps. However, late-race handling struggles and dense traffic eventually relegated him to a fifth-place finish.
