Alex Palou secures fourth consecutive IndyCar championship title

Alex Palou claimed his fifth career IndyCar championship after racing at the Milwaukee Mile on August 30, 2026. This victory marks the 29-year-old’s fourth consecutive series title, moving him closer to the record totals held by A.J. Foyt and Scott Dixon. During the current season, Palou secured the pole position for the Indianapolis 500, becoming the first reigning race winner to achieve the feat since 2010. While he did not repeat as Indianapolis 500 champion this year, his continued performance across the series has established him as a dominant figure in American open-wheel racing. Palou remains committed to Chip Ganassi Racing and the IndyCar Series, rejecting opportunities to move to Formula 1.
