350,000 fans gathered at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, and they were treated to a fantastic race. When the checkered flags waved, it was Alex Palou that was at the head of the field, earning his first oval win on the biggest stage possible. Marcus Ericsson finished second after a late battle with Palou, with David Malukas securing a third-place finish in his AJ Foyt Chevy, feeling he could have won. Despite the excitement, many drivers faced issues during the race, with Scott McLaughlin crashing on pace laps and multiple pit stop and mechanical problems for others like Josef Newgarden and Colton Herta. The day’s scariest moment came when Robert Shwartzman hit his PREMA crew members due to a pit box misjudgment, causing serious injury and ending his race. Next up, IndyCar heads to the Detroit street circuit for a very different type of race in just one week.
