Alex Palou wins 2025 Indianapolis 500 for fifth win in season's first six races

Alex Palou continued his incredibly dominant IndyCar Series season with his first Indianapolis 500 win.

Palou passed Marcus Ericsson entering Turn 1 with 14 laps to go and held off Ericsson, David Malukas and Pato O’Ward the rest of the way. Ericsson lifted into the corner behind two lapped cars when Palou passed him and left a gap for the two-time IndyCar champion.
