Alex Palou secured his second consecutive IndyCar championship at the Music City Grand Prix, fending off a late challenge from Scott Dixon. While Colton Herta won his first career oval victory, all eyes were on the championship battle.
, who earlier this year moved to Nashville, won the Music City Grand Prix for his first career victory on an oval and second win of the season for Andretti Global. Herta topped Pato O'Ward in a wheel-to-wheel battle in the closing laps.
Power had two chances in the last two races to reclaim the crown but failed to capitalize both times. Palou had an engine issue two weeks ago at the Milwaukee Mile and Power was briefly in position to win the race until the Australian spun on his own and finished a disappointing 10th. It was still going to take a lot of work for Power to give Team Penske the title as Palou only needed to rally to a ninth-place finish to win the title no matter where Power finished. He wound up 11th in the race."My belt, my belt has come off!" he shouted on his radio.
