alex palou had a Pole Position of Indianapolis 500 in your hands until Scott Dixon came out on track at Fast Sixwhere he signed an average of 234,046 miles / hour to evict his partner.
Palou will start second –233,499– after starring in his best classification to date. He came from third in the Top 12 and in this last round he knocked out Rinus VeeKay, third.
The Fast Six was run immediately after the Top 12 round, which in itself became a challenge for the cars from a mechanical standpoint.
In fact, the engine temperature was so high that all six cars rotated behind the pace-car before the session began.
Alex Palou knocked on the table. He started with a monumental 234 and controlled the breakdown, ending his run with a 232.9 that left his overall result at 233.499 miles / hour.
This record lifted Palou to the top of the Fast Six provisional classification, while pending the appearance on the track first by Rinus VeeKay and finally by Scott Dixon.
VeeKay approached, but his 233.385 was still behind Palou, who remained at the Pole.
But Dixon was still there, chaining two laps above 234 and finishing with a stratospheric global 234.046 miles / hour to lead.
