Indycar’s televised experiment in the non-points $1 Million Challenge was… weird
Ultimately it was talent that outdid strategy in the somewhat unusual IndyCar race at The Thermal Club in the Southern California desert, as Alex Palou drove his Ganassi Racing Honda to victory in the new and very different Thermal $1 Million Challenge Sunday.Organizers turned what might have been just a pre-season test session at a gentlemen’s club racing track into a full-fledged, albeit non-points, race weekend that they called “The Thermal $1 Million Challenge.
“I was a bit surprised how the competitors did the first 10 laps,” Palou said after the race.“Those guys going crazily slow, almost too slow, I don’t know what they were doing,” said second-place-finisher Scott McLaughlin driving the Penske Chevrolet. “We were conserving our tires. At half race distance I sorta tried to have a little go , then I settled in and tried to maximize second.”Herta explained his plan.
