Pato O'Ward wraps up Milwaukee IndyCar doubleheader with 2 wins in 1 day
Pato O'Ward passed David Malukas in a three-wide restart when Malukas' car lost power and went on to collect his second win of the day.
On August 30, Pato O’Ward achieved a remarkable feat at the Milwaukee Mile by securing both the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 and the Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 in one day. This marks a rare occurrence, as no driver had previously achieved this feat since Rick Mears at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1981. Rain had caused delays and disruptions to the doubleheader, with the first half being postponed and later rescheduled for the following evening.
In the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250, O’Ward overcame a pit stop issue and went on to win the race, finishing 0.7906 seconds ahead of his teammate McLaughlin. This victory added to his already impressive career, which includes 12 wins in 122 starts since 2018. In the subsequent race, O’Ward claimed a second win of the season, securing the 11th victory in his IndyCar career.
Alex Palou, meanwhile, clinched his fifth NTT IndyCar title with a 10th-place finish in the Indy NXT race.
