About Álex
Álex Palou is a three-time IndyCar Series champion (2021, 2023, 2024) and the defining driver of the early 2020s. The Spaniard's IndyCar debut at Dale Coyne in 2020 was modest, but Chip Ganassi Racing saw enough to sign him for 2021 — and he won the title in his first season with the team, becoming the first Spanish IndyCar champion.
Palou's 2023 and 2024 championships were among the most dominant in the sport's modern era, defined by metronomic consistency rather than flashy wins. A high-profile 2022 contract saga with McLaren was settled in court before Palou returned to Ganassi and proceeded to win two more titles. Cool under pressure and almost surgical in racecraft, Palou is now the driver every rival has to beat.
Álex Palou currently races for Chip Ganassi Racing in the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES, sitting P1 in the standings with 342 points. Track Álex Palou's full season on the Grid Guy interactive standings.
