Palou wins his record-tying 4th consecutive IndyCar season championship
Alex Palou claimed his record-tying fourth consecutive IndyCar season championship on Sunday night at the Milwaukee Mile. Despite a rain-delayed resumption of the race, the 29-year-old Spaniard secured the top spot with a 10th-place finish. This marks his fourth consecutive title, tying a record set by Sebastien Bourdais from 2004-2007.
Palou now trails only A.J. Foyt (7 titles) and Scott Dixon (6 titles) in the IndyCar record books. With 607 points heading into the season finale, Palou surpassed Christian Lundgaard in second place by over 100 points. Over the past two seasons, Palou has demonstrated remarkable consistency, finishing in the top 10 in 33 races. He added eight race wins to his tally this year, including his first and only Indy 500 title in 2025.
Despite a legal dispute with McLaren Racing over a breach of contract, Palou has remained dedicated to Ganassi Racing, signing a multiyear contract extension in May to continue their partnership beyond 2027.
