Palou finished third in a wild and unpredictable Nashville race, and has closed the gap to championship leader Will Power to 33 points. However, his Chip Ganassi Racing team-mates Scott Dixon – who won in Nashville – and Marcus Ericsson are only six and 12 points respectively in arrears of the Team Penske driver.
