Alex Palou makes history as 1st Spanish driver to win the Indianapolis 500

  • Alex Palou won the 109th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, becoming the first Spanish driver to claim the title.
  • Palou entered the race as a co-favorite with Pato O'Ward, backed by his three IndyCar titles and four wins in the first five events this season.
  • Palou overtook Marcus Ericsson, the 2022 winner and his former Chip Ganassi Racing teammate, on lap 187 at turn 1 to secure a Honda 1-2 finish.
  • Palou expressed that winning was especially meaningful to him as no Spanish driver had achieved it before, while Ericsson described coming in second as a difficult and frustrating outcome.
  • Palou's victory marked Ganassi Racing's sixth Indy 500 win and could enhance his legacy as he pursues further IndyCar success.
