Alex Palou clinched on Sunday his second career IndyCar title thanks to a decisive win in the Grand Prix of Portland at Portland International Raceway.
The Chip Ganassi Racing charger was crowned with one race to spare in the NTT IndyCar Series after claiming his fifth win of the 2023 season, the Spaniard beating Arrow McLaren's Felix Rosenqvist by 5.4s while his CGR teammate Scott Dixon was third.
"That’s what we wanted," Palou said after his commanding win. "It was an amazing weekend overall.
"We had really fast cars. We knew we had to go for it, and we just raced how we’ve been doing all season. Super proud to be here in victory lane and super proud of the second championship.
"I never thought that I would be an IndyCar champion, and to be a two-time IndyCar champion feels amazing, like a dream.
"I can’t think our guys and girls enough, they gave me all the tools I needed to win. We’ll just keep rolling."
