Palou, Honda Start “The Month of May” With Victory at Indianapolis
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Alex Palou cruised to his first victory of the 2023 #nttindycarseries season at today's GMR Grand Prix of #indianapolis, piloting his Chip Ganassi #racing Honda to a nearly 17-second victory in the opening #event of activities leading up to the #indianapolis 500 later this month.
Starting third on the faster, but more fragile, Firestone alternate "red" tires, Palou moved past fellow Honda driver and pole qualifier Christian Lundgaard on the opening lap, and was in command for much of the 85-lap contest. At the checkers, Palou finished 16.8 seconds ahead of Pato O'Ward in second, having led a race-high total of 52 laps.
Running the "red" tires in the closing stint, Lundgaard finished fourth for Honda and Rahal Letterman Lanigan #racing, his best result of 2023. In his #9 Chip Ganassi #racing Honda, Scott Dixon recovered from delays caused by an opening-lap incident ahead of him to finish sixth; with teammate and defending #indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson running eighth at the checkers.
With today's win, Honda has increased its lead in the INDYCAR Manufacturers' Championship to 26 points over Chevrolet (413-387), while Palou moves to the top of the championship points standings for drivers with 174.
