INDIANAPOLIS — Alex Palou made it five winners in five race results to start the 2023 NTT IndyCar Series, capitalizing on an aggressive tire strategy to win the GMR Grand Prix and take the championship points lead.
The Chip Ganassi Racing driver won by more than 16 seconds on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course over Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward, who trails Palou by six points in the standings.
It was the fifth career victory for Palou and his first since a runaway win in the 2022 season finale in Laguna Seca, California.
Alexander Rossi finished third, followed by pole-sitter Christian Lundgaard and Felix Rosenqvist as Arrow McLaren took three of the top five spots.
