Alex Palou was pleased to win the Laguna Seca IndyCar race with such a dominant margin - but would not be drawn on whether it would be the last time he'd drive for Chip Ganassi Racing ⬇️
Alex Palou says his Chip Ganassi Racing IndyCar machinery was"on rails" at Laguna Seca after winning by over 30 seconds, and was non-committal where he would race in 2023.Palou climbed from 11th on the grid, following an engine change grid penalty to defeat the charging off-strategy Josef Newgarden and 2022 IndyCar champion Will Power, beating them both by over half a minute.
Asked if he thought this was the best car he’d had since he joined Ganassi at the start of 2021, Palou responded, “It was so tough to drive today and all weekend here at Laguna. The grip level from the tarmac is so low so you're fighting all the time, so it never feels like you have a good car even when you're leading by that much!
Asked how things are with Chip Ganassi at the moment, Palou responded, “We talk. We talked in Portland. We talked before that. You guys saw, I think, Nashville was it? We talked this morning, so...” “I mean, last weekend in Portland, we finished 12th and everybody was overtaking me. It's IndyCar; it's not like every weekend you have the best car or the worst car, as we could see. Yeah, we'll see what happens.”
