Alex Palou has absolutely dominated the 2025 IndyCar season, winning five of the first six races, all while earning his first win in the Indianapolis 500.
The Chip Ganassi Racing driver passed Marcus Ericsson late, leaving him to finish second with David Malukas in third. Pato O'Ward and Felix Rosenqvist filled out the remainder of the top five for the 109th running of the Indy 500.
Palou is the first Spaniard to ever win IndyCar's crown jewel event, getting it done in his sixth attempt.
Eleven drivers failed to finish the race, including Scott McLaughlin, who crashed out of the race in a shocking incident during the pace laps. Josef Newgarden did a great job charging from the last row on the grid, but his quest for the three-peat ended due to fuel pressure issues on his Team Penske Chevrolet.
Kyle Larson crashed out of the race on Lap 92 in a restart melee, and while he won't be able to complete 1,100 miles, he will become the fifth driver to run the 'Double' as he heads to Charlotte for the 66th running of the Coca-Cola 600.
Rookie polesitter Robert Shwartzman never saw the finish either after being involved in a scary incident where he struck his Prema Racing pit crew. The top-finishing rookie was Louis Foster, who placed 15th.
On Monday, three Indy 500 finishers were disqualified for technical infractions.
