Overview

  • Palou’s victory was built on a calculated fuel-saving strategy that carried his Honda through the final laps without an extra pit stop.
  • Scott Dixon led a race-high 27 laps but had to pit with two laps remaining, dropping him to ninth.
  • Felix Rosenqvist finished two seconds behind in second, and Santino Ferrucci earned third for his fourth straight top-five result.
  • Early crashes involving Josef Newgarden and Robert Shwartzman triggered four caution flags that forced teams into varied fuel strategies.
  • By winning six of the first nine races—matching A.J. Foyt’s 1975 mark—Palou widened his lead as the series prepares to resume at Mid-Ohio on July 6.
