Alex Palou runs away with third win of year at Alabama
Spanish star Alex Palou is starting to pull away from the pack in the 2025 IndyCar Series. Palou won his third grand prix in four events to start the 2025 season when he notched an overwhelming 16.0035-second victory at the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix on Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala. 'I was a bit lonely there, but I loved it,' Palou quipped. 'It was an amazing day.' Palou led 81 of the race's 90 laps and was not seriously threatened by second-place finisher Christian Lundgaard of Denmark. The driver of the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Honda, Palou won the IndyCar Series title in 2021, 2023 and 2024 and already has a 60-point edge on the field as he takes aim at his fourth. Palou won the first two grand prix of the season (St. Petersburg, Thermal) and placed second to Kyle Kirkwood in Long Beach. Sunday marked Palou's 14th IndyCar grand prix victory, and it came in Alabama, the site of his first in 2021. 'It's amazing,' he said. 'We've always been really good here. I love this place. Like, every single lap here just feels amazing in an IndyCar. Yeah, it's going to be extra special from now on.' Lundgaard, who has only one once in the IndyCar Series, came in second after back-to-back third-place finishes. He is second to Palou in the points race. 'It's awesome. It's everything we could have hoped for and much better,' said Lundgaard, in his first season driving the No. 7 car for Arrow McLaren. Scott McLaughlin of New Zealand, Rinus VeeKay of the Netherlands and Will Power of Australia rounded out the top five. Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

IndyCar Grand Prix of St. Petersburg: How to watch season-opening race today
IndyCar Grand Prix of St. Petersburg: How to watch season-opening race today The 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season begins in Florida, with Sunday's Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg serving as the first of a 17-race calendar. Pato O'Ward won last year's edition, but hardly in traditional circumstances. Josef Newgarden celebrated following the conclusion of the race, but more than a month later, IndyCar announced that the Team Penske driver had been disqualified for violating the push-to-pass rules. O'Ward was elevated to race winner as a result, with Will Power and Colton Herta behind him. The 31st IndyCar season sees Spanish driver Álex Palou aiming to claim a third straight season championship, and that path begins with a street circuit on Florida's gulf coast. St. Petersburg has never been Palou's best event, though, with the three-time IndyCar champion only managing two top-five finishes in five attempts.
