After a couple of races away from the winner’s circle, INDYCAR’s most dominant driver has picked up another win. Alex Palou raced to victory at the Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix on Sunday, getting his second victory in four races in the 2026 INDYCAR season.
Palou dominated Sunday’s race, leading for 79 of the 90 laps. He finished just over 13 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Christian Lundgaard, who was also the runner-up at last year’s Alabama Indy Grand Prix.
This marks Palou’s second straight victory at Barber Motorsports Park. He actually won last year’s race in slightly more dominant fashion, leading that race for 81 laps before beating Lundgaard by over 16 seconds.
Graham Rahal finished third in Sunday’s race at Barber Motorsports Park. It’s his best finish in a race since 2023.
