Official race results: 2026 IndyCar at Portland

At the 2026 IndyCar race in Portland, Alex Palou emerged victorious, with Felix Rosenqvist securing the second position and Will Power finishing in third place. The winner's margin over the leader was a mere 4.1 seconds. Rinus VeeKay demonstrated a commendable performance for Juncos Hollinger, taking fourth place, while Kyle Kirkwood and Marcus Ericsson rounded out the top five.

Rosenqvist led the race for the initial 30 laps before Palou overtook him following the first sequence of pit stops. Palou reclaimed his lead for the final time on Lap 87 of the 110-lap race, after Power made his stop, and he maintained that position throughout the remaining laps. Nineteen out of the 25 starters crossed the finish line on the lead lap, with Marcus Armstrong being the only driver to retire from the race.
