Drivers of the NTT IndyCar Series started the third street course race in Long Beach and Alex Palou claimed victory with a well-executed pit stop by his Chip Ganassi Racing team.
Despite leading 51 laps, Felix Rosenqvist had to settle for second place behind Palou, marking his best result in almost a year.
Pit strategy was a key factor in the race, but those opting for a three-stop strategy did not see significant gains.
Marcus Ericsson encountered electrical issues and retired before the halfway mark, making him the sole driver not to finish the race.
Next up for the drivers and teams is a two-day Indy 500 test session, followed by a race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on May 9th.
