Palo reaches Sweet Six after the strategic victory in Road America

By Indycar

After 55 rolls of fierce and fierce uncertainty, about the only thing designated in the NTT Indycar series, Sunday in Road America – Alex Palau and his crew in the Ganassi chip race standing in Victory Lane.

Palu extended the fuel available in the Solomatic Cup No. 10 of the Honda race at the end to get his sixth victory in nine games this season in the Xpel Grand Prix in Road America presented by AMR by AMR, to become the first Indycar series that takes the flame flag at least six times in one season in 2011.

He sees: The results of the race

“It was a crazy race,” Palo said. “There were moments I thought we were losing a lot of positions. It was a difficult race for everyone. Glory to the team for the amazing strategy and Honda to give us the miles that we need in the end.”

The champion of the chain three times has expanded its advance to 93 points on the Kyle Kirkwood from Andretti Global with a victory in a race of fuel strategies and various tires with the passage of the season in the middle of the road, with eight races in the 17 -racing schedule remained.

Rosenqvist was not exposed to a fuel strategy on closing lamps in No. 60 Siriusxm Honda of Meyer Shank Racing W/Curb-Agajanian, but it decreased 2.1725 seconds to finish second. Santino Ferrucci had enough 100 % renewable race fuel to operate in third place in No. 14 Sexton Properties/Aj Foyt Racing Chevrolet, the fourth best five in a row in this season.

Kirkud, the winner of the last two race, remained this event, almost hot like air temperatures in the mid -1990s through the fourth place in No. 27 Siemens Honda of Andriette Global. Marcus Armstrong scored the best result of the season in the fifth place in No. 66 in Honda Seroskmmy/root, where Mayer Shank Resing placed with the two loughanian curbed in the first five places.

There were nine race leaders today, as Palu ranked first in the 53rd lap of the 55 -roll race when his teammate and leader Scott Dixon were unable to provide another miracle fuel and were forced to drill in the PNC Bank No. 9 Honda.

Dickson had previously incited at the end of the lap 38, by about 15 rolls as a maximum between stops unless there was a warning period to reduce speeds and provide fuel. The fruits of Dixon gambling did not come, as there were no warnings in the last 24 rp, although yellow flags fly five times in the first 30 rolls.

The two-time series champion of the series, Balo, stopped his last at the end of the lap 40. These two luminals are less on his last reservoir of fuel from Dixon-and provide fuel by running in second place in the draft leader Dickson-proved that he is the focus of Palo, which makes him to the end with power.

Rosenqvist stopped his last at the end of the 42 -roll and pushed to the maximum extent towards the leaders Dixon, Palou and Alexander Rossi at ECR Java No. 20. Russian, which sipped fuel like Dixon, was also forced to stop at the end of LAP 51, which led to more clean air and an open space to charge RosenQvist.

But Rosenqvist – which showed his speed by leading the morning warm -up – was nearly four seconds when he incited a Russian. About RosenQvist is the fastest roll in the race on the last trip around the 14th and 4.014 miles, but it was not enough to reduce the margin and challenge in the foreground.

“It was about back and forth there, coming and pioneers during the race,” said Rosenkvist. “We had a great speed, and we had a really good pace. We have badly enjoyed in the past few races, we didn’t really go good. A good return now. It has gone some time since I was on the platform.”

This was the first Rosenqvist platform in a point of wages since he finished second in September 2023 in the Portland International Raceway.

Louis Foster, NTT P1, won 11th place to receive his career in May at the Sonsio Grand Prix in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road.

In the first half of the race, a series of caution in the first half of the race led to different strategies up and down in the hole. An extensive competition was also born on a burning day in the center of Wisconsin. There were 348 passes on the path (including 345 for the situation), 96 passes at the top of 10 and 29 passes in the first five places-all of these numbers are second in the second place among the Indycar series races in this beloved facility.

Palo’s victory also continued a historic vibration this season in the series. Palou (six wins) and Kirkwood (three wins) are the only victorious drivers in 2025, and the last time that two drivers took control of the first half of the Indycar series season in 1980, when Bobby was Unser and Johnny Rutherford are the only two winners through nine races.

Honda also remained perfect, as its engines operated all the winners of the nine race this season.

The next race is Honda Indy 200 at Mid-OHIO, which was presented by the new 2026 passport on Sunday, July 6 in the Mid-OHIO SPORTS CAR in Lexington, Ohio.
