Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou delivered a masterful drive to claim victory in Saturday’s Indy Grand Prix on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

The reigning and two-time IndyCar Series champion, Palou recovered from getting behind early and utilized a sensational in-lap and out-lap on his strategy to secure the lead in the penultimate round of pitstops and march to a 6.6106s victory on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn circuit. Palou, who came in as the defending race winner, led 39 of the 85 laps en route to collecting his first win of the season, and 10th of his IndyCar career.

He climbed to ninth with 21 laps to go. Palou led Lundgaard, Power and Scott Dixon down pit lane on lap 62. Power, who swapped to used alternates, was able to leapfrog Lundgaard – on fresh alternates – during the stop and move to second. Palou took fresh primaries, while team-mate Dixon moved to fresh alternates. The first and only caution of the day came out with 20 laps to go for Dale Coyne Racing’s Luca Ghiotto being stalled on track.
