Trying to make up ground, O’Ward made an aggressive move to get inside Santino Ferrucci and ran into a barrier wall ending his day 41 laps into the 100-lap race. Just after leaving a pit stop, his Honda stalled due to a mechanical issue and his Chip Ganassi Racing crew had to push him back to address the problem.
When Power pulled into the split pit five laps later, Pato O’Ward had a lead that didn’t last long. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver led the race from the start until pitting on lap 29 and allowing Power to pull into the lead. Palou said his plan was to stay in front with clean air ahead of the chaos as much as possible. When the race resumed on the second lap going into Turn 3, Callum Ilott damaged Kyle Kirkwood’s wing by running into him in the middle of the pack. It was waved off because there wasn’t enough space between cars. Indianapolis 500 champion Josef Newgarden finished 10th in the 27-car field. Flex Rosenqvist finished third, followed by Scott Dixon and Alexander Rossi. My one chance was when Dixon got into me.”Īfter a seventh yellow flag, Palou pulled away in his Honda with five laps left and beat Power’s Chevrolet by 1.1843 seconds. “I couldn’t get him,” said Dixon, a Team Penske driver. He stayed in front after Will Power made a move that didn’t pan out as he made contact with Scott Dixon on lap 91.
The Spaniard, who won the Indianapolis Grand Prix, led 74 of 100 laps on Detroit’s new street circuit and went ahead for the last time on lap 77. “It was a lot better than I expected,“ said Palou, who won his second race in less than a month and the sixth of his caeer. He started and finished first in the Detroit Grand Prix on Sunday, roughly 24 hours after the Ind圜ar points leader said the street course was too tight and short for the series. DETROIT (AP) - Alex Palou went from critic to champion in a day.
