Alex Palou is on a "magical" run, and it seems that only a total collapse could stop him from securing the championship.

Call Alex Palou’s win at Iowa Speedway on Sunday afternoon ‘Lucky 7’. The reigning Indianapolis 500 champion used a perfectly-timed caution flag to win his seventh race of the IndyCar season. He’s the first driver to win seven of the first 12 races of a season since Al Unser Jr.

Flag-to-flag battles were ultimately decided by a late yellow flag at Iowa Speedway as IndyCar championship leader Palou picked up another win

Since 2020, the series has held back-to-back races at Iowa, giving fans double the excitement. The only time a driver has swept the weekend set was in 2023, when Josef Newgarden won the double, winning in Corn Country for the fifth and sixth time in his career.
