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