Alex Palou – Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix – By: James Black

Alex Palou continued his dominating start to the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season with a convincing win at Barber Motorsports Park on Sunday.

Palou sat on the pole and led 81 of the 90 laps in the event besting second place Christian Lundgaard by 16.260 seconds. Scott McLaughlin, who had won the event the last two seasons, collected the final podium spot.

Rinus Veekay and Will Power rounded out the top five. Kyle Kirkwood, the only other driver to win this season, finished 11th in the event.

The win was Palou’s third of the season and the 14th of his career. The first win of Palou’s career came at Barber Motorsports Park in 2021.
