Palou Powers Through: Ganassi Star Dominates Again at Laguna Seca

Alex Palou made California dreaming a reality once again Sunday, delivering another masterclass at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver led 84 of 95 laps, cruising to his eighth victory in 14 races this season and tightening his grip on a third straight NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship.

Palou’s precision and pace left the rest of the field scrambling for answers. With just three races remaining, his 121-point lead all but locks up the Astor Cup barring a miracle run from Pato O’Ward.

The Spaniard now has 19 career wins in just 95 starts—a pace rivaled only by the greats of open-wheel racing. As INDYCAR shifts to Portland next, it’s clear: Palou’s playground is wherever the green flag drops.
