The NTT IndyCar Series held its race in Long Beach, California on Sunday afternoon, completing 90 laps at one of the most esteemed American motorsport locations. Throughout much of the event, Felix Rosenqvist led steadily over Alex Palou. A caution period, triggered by debris on the track, interrupted a 214-lap green flag run dating back to 2024 at Long Beach. Palou capitalized on the caution to take the lead during the final scheduled pit stop, eventually securing his third victory of the season. Despite missing out on the win, Rosenqvist recognized the positive momentum for himself and Meyer Shank Racing. Pit strategies varied during the race, with some opting for three stops to maximize tire performance. Josef Newgarden tried this approach, gaining time on fresh tires but ultimately finishing where he began due to tire issues. Despite challenges and variability in strategies, the race saw Palou emerge victorious and Rosenqvist settle for second, shaping the points standings as they head into the upcoming Month of May festivities.
