Alex Palou’s face has been added to the Borg-Warner Trophy, a prestigious honor unveiled at a ceremony on Wednesday. The trophy is separate from the Astor Cup, given to the IndyCar championship winner; Palou won both awards this season. The massive sterling silver trophy stands over five feet tall and weighs around 80 pounds. Palou’s face now joins those of other Indianapolis 500 champions on the iconic trophy, solidifying his place in IndyCar history. Artist Will Behrends sculpted Palou’s likeness from clay, which was then cast in silver and placed on the trophy. The trophy, which features Palou’s face and his average speed of 168.883 MPH from the race, will be showcased at various events and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.
