Palou Suffers Troubled Day in Washington

IndyCar Series championship leader Alex Palou, the reigning and four-time champion, had a challenging outing in Washington, D.C. Despite securing pole position for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, Palou's day took a turn for the worse when he struck a right-rear tire during his first pit stop on lap 36 of 147.

The Spaniard, who led only at the start after the green flag was waved by President Donald Trump, never regained front-running position as his championship hopes suffered a setback at the challenging street circuit. newssport.cv
