In yet another nerve-fraying finish, Alex Palou passed Josef Newgarden with two laps remaining Sunday to win the REV Group Grand Prix presented by AMR at Road America and regained the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship lead.

Kevin Magnussen said it felt great to get the monkey off his back with his first IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship win after showing pace in earlier races this season.

Chip Ganassi has the dominant IndyCar team, and it’s only getting better as the season moves on to the second half following this weekend’s doubleheader on Belle Isle.

Marcus Ericsson is back. Back in Victory Lane, that is.

Chip Ganassi tells anyone who will listen that “I like winners” whenever one of his drivers takes the checkered flag. So when Marcus Ericsson was hired, he worried the team owner would see his long losing streak and question the pick.

Ask Alex Palou to best describe his mindset of leading IndyCar’s championship points battle six races in, and he’ll put it into terms of the latest war he waged: the quest to win the Indianapolis 500.

Alex Palou just lost the biggest race in the world after being locked in an intense battle with now four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves – a recipe for a sour taste left in one’s mouth.
