Pa-lou Pa-lou Pa-lou! Three-time IndyCar champion Álex Palou claimed his first Indianapolis 500 win Sunday. Foyt won five of his first six starts, the only miss being a second place in the Indy 500. As with any Indy 500, there was one winner and there were 32 others who will lay awake Sunday night, but this year seemed crueler than most. Scott McLaughlin's Indy 500 was over before it began, as he wrecked during the warmup laps before the green flag had dropped.
