Alex Palou is on a "magical" run, and it seems that only a total collapse could stop him from securing the championship.

Palou benefitted from a pair of timely cautions to deny Josef Newgarden and David Malukas and claim Sunday’s Farm to Finish 275. The Spaniard had started from pole after a strong second lap in Saturday’s qualifying, but was overtaken twice by Newgarden during Sunday’s race.

Herta's crash came in the middle of the final pit cycle of the day. Josef Newgarden had charged his way to the lead after passing both Palou and David Malukas, but his final stop was slow, and Newgarden dropped behind Malukas to ninth place.
