Palou Claims Historic 4th Title | Amarillo News

Alex Palou just made history by winning his fourth straight IndyCar championship — and possibly the most dramatic one yet — clinching it with a 10th-place finish at the rain-delayed Milwaukee Mile, which stretched over two days. At just 29, he’s now the youngest driver ever to win five titles, tying Sebastien Bourdais’ record. With six wins and 14 top-10s in 17 races, Palou leads his closest rival by 100 points. Despite the stats, he says each title feels uniquely special, especially after navigating a chaotic race with over 400 laps in one day. Off the track, he’s also overcoming legal drama — a court ordered him to pay McLaren $12M for contract backing out — but he stayed loyal to Chip Ganassi Racing, signing a new multiyear deal. Palou credits his team and sponsors for making his success possible, calling his championship a direct result of the opportunities and support he’s received since joining Ganassi in 2021.
