Alex Palou locked up his fourth straight IndyCar championship Sunday night with a 10th-place finish, tying the record for consecutive titles in the series. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver secured the points lead mathematically, meaning he clinched before the checkered flag even dropped. Palou joins an exclusive club in IndyCar history. He's matched the streak set by the greats who dominated the sport's most competitive eras. This championship caps another season where Palou proved himself the most consistent driver on the grid week in and week out, regardless of track position or strategy calls on Sunday. The 28-year-old Spaniard has transformed himself into the franchise cornerstone for Ganassi, delivering titles with regularity that few drivers ever manage. His ability to accumulate points across the season, even on nights when his car wasn't the fastest, speaks to the gap between him and the rest of the field right now.
