Nine-time winner and Chip Ganassi superstar Alex Palou refers to the track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as his second home after spending an extended time there between the regular NTT Series season. Palou recently competed in the GT3 category for Lonestar Racing in the Intercontinental GT Challenge at the AMG Mercedes EVO. The Indianapolis 8-hour endurance race was from October 4 to 6.
The race was an eventful experience for the Ganassi top contender after experiencing hiccups alongside famed German AMG-Mercedes performance drivers Luca Stolz and Fabian Schiller. Mechanical issues were the main component with their shared Mercedes EVO, which slowed things down during the race. However, the team still placed 13 overall, which is impressive considering the setback, but what’s next for Palou?
Where Does Alex Palou Go From Here
Since spending his offseason from IndyCar behind the wheel of a GT3 Sportscar for the first time since 2019, everyone’s mind is on whether he’ll consider returning to the GT3 Class. Alex Palou mentioned earlier this month that he was interested in jumping behind the wheel of a stock car for the NASCAR franchise at some point, but only when time permits.
