Alex Palou incurred a speeding penalty during his second pit stop at the Grand Prix at Road America, which could jeopardize his chances of winning. The penalty, a drive-through due to exceeding speed limits in the pit lane, placed him further back from leader Felix Rosenqvist. Shortly after the penalty, a stalled car from Christian Rasmussen caused a full-course caution, allowing Palou to maintain some position, restarting in eighth place on Lap 33. Palou is currently tied with Mario Andretti, Michael Andretti, and Emerson Fittipaldi for the most IndyCar wins at Road America, aiming for his fourth victory at the track.
