Alex Palou has won five races and leads by almost two full races' worth of max points. Kyle Kirkwood won the other two races.
Josef Newgarden held off Team Penske teammate Scott McLaughlin for the win. Since 2019, Newgarden (four times) and Scott Dixon (two) are the only active drivers to win on this track.
From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
We're seven races into a 17-race season, and two drivers have taken checkered flags. Can a third driver enjoy the spoils? For this exercise, Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood are out of the equation.
Who is most likely to earn his first win of the season?: I'll take the driver who's taken pole here each of the last two years and who in five starts in his career at the track is yet to finish outside the top-5: Scott McLaughlin. The Team Penske driver won twice on short ovals a year ago and finished runner-up at WWTR, too. It's been a rollercoaster of a year for McLaughlin, but I think he settles things a bit on Sunday.
Something you don't see coming: Alex Palou will have another hiccup and finish outside the top-5, opening the door for his closest competitors in the championship race to chip away at his 90-point lead.
