Overview
- Palou took the IndyCar lead on Sunday during the lap‑60 stops after a debris caution and pulled away to win by about four seconds over polesitter Felix Rosenqvist.
- Rosenqvist led 51 of 90 laps for Meyer Shank Racing but lost first in the pits, settling for second ahead of Scott Dixon, with Kyle Kirkwood and Pato O’Ward completing the top five.
- Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura duo Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly won Saturday’s 100‑minute IMSA sprint from pole by 0.818 seconds after leading 53 of 70 laps.
- A full‑course yellow triggered by contact involving BMW’s Philipp Eng and a later stop‑and‑60‑second penalty reshuffled IMSA strategy, cycling van der Zande to the front to fend off Whelen Cadillac’s Jack Aitken and Frederik Vesti.
- GTD honors went to Aaron Telitz and Benjamin Pedersen, who earned his first IMSA win, while the weekend’s Acura victory carried extra local weight for the brand based in nearby Torrance and came as paddock chatter questioned Honda/Acura’s IMSA plans after 2026.
