Álex Palou controls chaos and returns to the path of triumph

Nor the chaos more absolute in which the career of Road America could with the precision of Álex Palou. He Champion, leader and dominator of the Indycar He has done it again and his Sixth victory in nine races winning in 'His garden' by Elkhart Lake.

And he has done it saving all kinds of obstacles: con Melee struggles of which he always came out, trusting in a Perfect strategy before the king of strategieshis partner Scott Dixon, and above all Keeping out of trouble… what was there, and many. To the point that A lot of cars were left without gasoline as soon as we cross the finish line.

Palou, solid in chaos

Everything clean that had been the start of the season in terms of yellow flags was compensated with the accidental career today (Interestingly on a track that is not usually conducive to so many trouble). Up to five interruptions splashed the Grand Prixbreaking all the scripts of strategies that the teams could foresee and giving rise to a tactical chaos that did not decipher until the end.

Dixon y Pato O'Wardthe ones out of position were at the exit, were the first to look for a Alternative strategy That almost works for Neozyre, a gasoline savings master, but who never put the Mexican in a race -without rhythm throughout the weekend. Palou didn't invent anything And that earned him to go out second, behind Dixon, after the final stop … and with gasoline advantage In his favor. Dixon needed another yellow to make it work … but it didn't arrive and Palou only had to make him mature To its wake until, in the absence of two laps, the Indycar hexacampeon had to replace. Kirkwoodmeanwhile, led a third sequence that earned him only to finish Fourth, but without options to discuss the triumph to Spanish.

“It has been one crazy race, We lost many positions in some moments, but The team has made a great strategy with gasoline And we have achieved it. It has been a fun career… And I can't be happier, “said Palou in the Victory Lane of Road América.

In case the tactical panorama was not complicated enough, there were also countless track incidents that involved almost everyone … except Palou. The champion remained outside the bullets (although some dodged them by little) and left a couple of bright maneuvers, such as when advanced Kirkwood and Lundgaard from a cupits two main opponents today, or when flew with soft in the second relay devouring the two Penske of Newgarden and McLaughlin.

In all those troubles that truffle the first three quarterfinals See Eliminaron Solos Lundgaard -One of the great candidates for victory, who hooked with Herta and ended up making a spin-, Newgardenwho collided with the barriers breaking his rear suspension and had ruined the options of his partner McLaughlin for excess aggressiveness against him, and Power that, unlike Spanish, he was in all.

The best example of the weight that the strategy had tonight are the Podium companions so unusual that Palou had: FEGIX rosesqvist (Meyer Shank) y Santino Ferrucci (AJ Foyt). In addition, they sneaked into the top 10 people 'Strange' like Simpson or Siegel…

Palou increases its advantage

With the Triumph in Road Americain addition to continuing to increase its historical streak this season, Palou recovers distance With their rivals. Kirkwood remains at 93 pointswhile the Mexican O'ward is at a world of 111 points… And now another track comes from those who like Catalan … that tremble.
