Spaniard Alex Palou is on course for his second championship title after 2021 in the IndyCar series.

“I’m overjoyed,” said Palou (Chip Ganassi Racing), who overtook the leading American Colton Herta with seven laps to go: “We’ll try to continue like this. We’ve been good in the points so far, but you know in IndyCar never.”

Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden (USA/Penske) was second, Mexican Pato O’Ward in the Arrow McLaren took third place.

It continues on July 2nd in Lexington with the ninth of 17 races of the season.
