Palou takes rare maximum indycar points with hairdressing dominance

Palou takes rare maximum indycar points with hairdressing dominance

by

Alex Palou won his third Indycar victory in four races – he was in the other second – in Barber Motorsports Park to extend his points to Massive 59 to start the crucial month of May.

Anyone who hopes to change the fortune for the transcendent Chip Ganassi driver Palou this weekend will be extremely disappointed when -learned in a special color scheme for the Honda Racing Corporation has a rare Indycar maximum for the win, which led a round that led most gaps and pole positions. It is like playing with the opposition at that time.

They are forgiven that Palou did not sweat on his Sunday trip – even if that is the case. A massive disadvantage for the effort it requires to achieve the level on which he is currently working on.

He dominated the first storm of Pole and his gap to the second starter Scott McLaughlin was 8.5 seconds, and then over 10 to Colton Herta, who used two rounds in front of Palou on the 31st/90.

Herta's undercut his gap to Palou almost less than five seconds, as soon as the stopover was closed when he jumped McLaughlin, but also with the deficit to run the hard tires to Hertas Softs, Palou still displaced.

And after another drama for Andrettis Herta, it didn't matter anyway, which can count more than in 2025. A slow Pitstop, in which Herta brought him to a standstill, turned off six positions when the second station was completed.

In the same round of stops, McLarens Christian Lundgaard pulled an epic undercut to jump Power, and then he took McLaughlin with one of his textbook for outrageous dives in round 17 – he previously did it with Barber to become Palous's main challenger.

“See Ya,” he called after moving on the radio.

But even with a fresh sentence Softs, Lundgaard was unable to save in Palou in Palou in the penultimate period of the race.

In the last round of the stops, Palou rapped on a fresh set with a 6-second gap over Lungaard on a worn set and extended his gap to an openly ridiculous 16 seconds after the finish.

It is the biggest winning edge on a road course since they guessed it in 2023 in Indianapolis!

The only people who can say that they have a better start into the season than Palou is his engine supplier Honda, who actually won every race and has secured the latest in his own painting in Palous Auto.

Lundgaard's Incredible Maiden season in McLaren continues with a third podium in a row and the second in the championship, with McLaughlin giving decisive points in third place and had to compensate for an MGU overheating at thermal, which last.

One of the stars of the race finished fourth when Rinus Veekay appeared twice from the milimeters before the willpower on soft tires and still stopped him. The second came after a problem in the box with its front right bike mother.

Chrsitian Rasmussen, who stayed outside for a long stay between Veekay and Power, continued and enabled Veekay, Coyne's best result since Texas in April 2023 and Veekays Beste since Iowa 2022

Veekay almost replaced McLaughlin with a stormy last stint, which ultimately came short.

When he drove for a new contract, it was another important top 5 for power, his second in a row and thought a charging Pato O'Ward was what felt like the entire race that he spent within 0.8 seconds of his rival.

As part of his recovery, Herta took seventh place, and Alexander Rossi (Ed Carpenter), Nolan Siegel made it all three McLaren in the top nine, and Josef Newgarden rounded off the top 10 himself.

The winner of the last race, Long Beach Victor Kyle Kirkwood, started in 18th place after not completing his group in qualifying, and things looked bleak when he suffered from a suspected gear problem early.

But quick thinking to place it – even if there was a problem with the right to the right – meant that the damage was reduced and that he fought the race for 11th place.
