And the next obvious question – college choice? – has an interesting answer. She is still undecided and even the big recruiting websites don't have a clear sense of which way she might be leaning. She recently visited Texas, and the Longhorns are listed as one of the favorites, along with LSU, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas Tech and UCLA.
It'll be huge news when she makes her decision, as Chavez has got future WNBA all-star written all over her.

Chip Ganassi Relishes Alex Palou's Incredible Season: 'You're Seeing History Made'
MONTEREY, Calif. — Even Chip Ganassi, with his trademark line of "I Like Winners," couldn't have predicted such a dominating season like the one Alex Palou has put together in 2025. Fourteen races into the year, Palou has eight victories. In two other races, he has finished second. He has won five poles and led the most laps in five races this year. Oh, and one of those victories was the Indianapolis 500. "This guy is in a league of his own," Ganassi told me on Sunday after another win at Laguna Seca. "There are a lot of great drivers out there, and we've been fortunate to have a lot of them. "And this guy's right at the top." No driver has won more than 10 races in a year, and Palou still has a chance to break that record with races at Portland (road course), Milwaukee (1-mile oval) and Nashville (1.33-mile oval). Can he get to 11? "I don't know many people who would bet against that," Ganassi said. "Who knows?" What is not up for debate is the monumental season Palou has had, as he has all but clinched his fourth series title. He just needs to average a 16th-place finish over the final three races. Ganassi has had seasons where his drivers have won more than eight races. Dixon and Dario Franchitti combined for 10 wins in 2009. Alex Zanardi and Juan Pablo Montoya each had seven-win seasons during the time of the split of INDYCAR into two competing series (which many would consider diluted the field). "We're really, really, really pleased and excited and happy to be watching and being a part of history," Ganassi said. When a driver wins eight times in one season, the driver will need to have some good fortune. But Palou seems to have taken advantage of every opportunity, every mistake by another front-running driver. "It's not like we're lucking into these things," Ganassi said. "He's dominating. Today [at Laguna Seca], it looked like the red tire, the soft tire, was the preferred tire and he was on the hard tire running away from the field. "The entire field was on the red softs, and he was running away from them on the hard tire." That was by design. When a driver has the fastest car and is in the zone like Palou, the team finds the strategy that plays to its strengths. Palou has not been shy about not wanting to change strategy. He doesn't want to go the conservative route, and he doesn't want to throw away points at races. A week prior to Laguna Seca, that bit him when he finished 12th using a strategy that didn't pan out at Toronto. He lost 30 points to second-place Pato O'Ward in the process. "We talk about it every week," Ganassi said. "We've got people still breathing down our neck, and we want to remember how we got here. And that was racing the way we know how to race: Go for the wins." After that race, Palou took the blame for advocating for that strategy. "Alex wants to try to claim the responsibility," said his strategist Barry Wanser. "Myself and the race engineer were like you can't claim all the responsibility for what went wrong. "Part of it's on us. But that's just the type of guy he is." The type of guy Palou is remains one who continues to learn and perform. In just his second INDYCAR season, he won the title with three victories in 2021. He won just once in 2022 before a five-win season on his way to the 2023 championship. His 2024 crown came in a year when he earned just two wins but no driver had more than three. Palou's 2025 season has included his first oval wins and not just at Indianapolis. He also won on the Iowa oval, which is just short of a mile in length. "He had a great, great race in Iowa a few weeks ago, his first short oval win," Ganassi said. "These are not easy things to do, especially for a kid coming out of Europe." What has allowed him to do it? Ganassi said the same thing that made him pretty much an instant success story in the series. "I go back to his first race with us years ago down there [Barber Motorsports Park] in Alabama, when that was the first race of the season," Ganassi said. "He came out and just did really good. He had [Will] Power and [Scott] Dixon breathing down his neck all day and it didn't seem to bother him. "The wind in his sails hasn't let up yet. This guy is on a roll. We haven't seen the best of him yet. You're seeing history made right now, and it's incredible to watch." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.

Alex Palou powers to fifth IndyCar pole of 2025 at Laguna Seca
Alex Palou's back in charge after qualifying at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The points leader laid down a 1:07.3413s lap to claim the pole for Sunday's Java House Grand Prix of Monterey. It's the Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) star's fifth pole of the year and fourth on a road course, positioning Palou to add to his hefty championship advantage. Alex Palou, Chip Ganassi Racing 'It felt amazing,' Palou said of his run. 'Honestly, the car has been amazing. Yesterday (in) practice one and today. All practice sessions I felt like we had a ton of pace, like all year. Everyone at CGR has been doing a tremendous job, making me look good on track. 'It feels great to be on pole here. I can't wait for tomorrow.' Patricio O'ward, Arrow McLaren The driver trying to chase Palou down, Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward, followed in second, .2867s slower on the same tires. It was the Mexican's first front row qualifying effort since his pole at The Thermal Club in April. 'My best starting position here,' he said. 'We'll take that.' Colton Herta took third, with Josef Newgarden, Will Power and David Malukas wrapping up the Fast 6. Newgarden made his first appearance in the final round of qualifying on a road course since May's Sonsio Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He briefly went off-course in the final seconds, but Palou ultimately set quick time in the Fast 12. Herta, O'Ward, Malukas, Newgarden and Power also snuck through, leaving Christian Lundgaard, Graham Rahal, Louis Foster, Marcus Armstrong, Christian Rasmussen and Felix Rosenqvist to complete the top-12. Rosenqvist was on time to advance in his colorful Grateful Dead livery, but the Swede wound up off-track in turn 5 on his last lap and impeded the run of Rasmussen, leading to his top time being deleted. 'I just spun in turn 5, went in a little hard and I couldn't save it,' Rosenqvist said of the accident. 'Unfortunate, (but) it is what it is. My bad.' Full Qualifying report Josef Newgarden, Team Penske Palou led the opening group session, advancing to the Fast 12 alongside Rosenqvist, Rasmussen, Lundgaard, Herta and Newgarden. Scott McLaughlin, Marcus Ericsson, Rinus VeeKay and Scott Dixon were the first ones to miss out on advancement, with McLaughlin knocked out after the checkered flag flew by a last-ditch effort from Rasmussen. Kyle Kirkwood, Andretti Global The second group session proved eventful, with Devlin DeFrancesco spinning in Laguna Seca's iconic Corkscrew section while Armstrong bounced through it and Kyle Kirkwood put two wheels off-course elsewhere. O'Ward ultimately led the session, advancing alongside Armstrong, Malukas, Power, Foster and Rahal. Kyffin Simpson, Nolan Siegel, Kirkwood and Santino Ferrucci were among those left on the outside looking in. Qualifying was the first time the IndyCar field made it onto the racing surface on Saturday. A planned morning practice session was delayed and ultimately cancelled as lingering moisture kept the track's medical helicopter grounded, posing a safety risk should any accidents occur. Due to concerns over similar issues on Sunday morning, the pre-race warmup will be held at 7 p.m. ET this evening on FS2. The Java House Grand Prix of Monterey will go live Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on FOX. To read more articles visit our website.
