Overview
- Palou, who won Sunday at Long Beach, beat Rosenqvist out of the pits on lap 60 after the race’s lone caution and pulled away to win by about four seconds, with Scott Dixon third for a Honda podium sweep.
- Rosenqvist led a career-high 51 laps from pole but lost the lead in the pit exchange triggered by debris near lap 58, as Chip Ganassi Racing’s first pit stall and a cleaner stop swung track position.
- The victory is Palou’s third of the young season and moves him 17 points clear of Kyle Kirkwood heading into IndyCar’s Month of May at Indianapolis.
- On Saturday in IMSA, Meyer Shank Racing’s Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly converted pole into victory by leading 53 of 70 laps in a caution-heavy sprint that included multiple incidents and a stop-and-60-second penalty for Philipp Eng.
- DXDT Racing’s Robert Wickens led the IMSA GTD class for the first 25 laps using hand controls before a planned driver change; the Corvette finished sixth, and the series now shifts to Laguna Seca in two weeks.
