176 - The Biggest Stage in Racing - Alex Palou Wins the 109th Indianapolis 500

The Greatest Spectacle in Racing is officially in the books, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly showed moments of brilliance before bringing home a hard fought 8th place finish. He joins co-host Chase Holden to recap his race and how a vibration caused by a loss of wheel weights caused him to fade late in the running. Conor explains that his car became wrecking loose, but an early pit stop would cause him to fall out of the top-10, so he was forced to hold on for dear life and save more fuel than expected. The guys chat about the attrition during the race, the rain delays and how several contenders’ days were impacted. At the end of the day, the driver of the year so far Alex Palou was able to use lapped cars to stay ahead of Marcus Ericsson, bringing home his first career oval victory on the biggest stage in auto racing.

The now regarded as “third host of Speed Street” Alex Palou stops by the show during his 500-winner media tour to unpack the biggest win in his storied career. He recalls that as the race hit the halfway mark and the various strategies began to take place, he realized he was going to have a shot at winning. Alex and Conor experienced opposite balance issues due to cold temperatures and rainy conditions, and Alex explains that he was dealing with a major push that the team chased with adjustments throughout the entire event. At the end of the day, Alex implemented a strategy that he learned while chasing Helio Castroneves to the finish during the 2021 running of the race, only this time he came out on top.
