FILE - Alex Palou , of Spain, prepares to drive during a practice session for the Indianapolis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Thursday, May 16, 2024, in Indianapolis. WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Alex Palou suffered a power failure seconds before Sunday’s race began at the Milwaukee Mile in a blow to the IndyCar season championship leader.
Palou went into Sunday with a 43-point lead over Will Power and two races remaining on the IndyCar schedule. The Spaniard theoretically could have wrapped up his third title in four years with a strong performance at Milwaukee. The engine cover was eventually removed as the field finally went green six laps into the event and Power already had cut the deficit to 16 points.
