He didn’t produce the same level of dominance as last year, but the end result was the same: Alex Palou hoisted the Astor Cup Trophy for a third time in 2024.
The Spaniard still racked up an impressive season in the IndyCar Series, scoring two victories, four other podiums, 13 top 10s and three poles in the 17 points-paying rounds en route to becoming the first back-to-back champion since Dario Franchitti’s hat-trick in 2009-11. Additionally, Palou was never threatened in the non-points exhibition at The Thermal Club, leading every lap from pole to win in the $1 Million Challenge.
