When Scott McLaughlin reacted to Alex Palou's dominance
Reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou is the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series championship leader with 142 points, with two triumphs so far. Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin, who was a preseason favorite, shared his thoughts on Palou's dominance.
In the first race of the 2025 season at St Petersburg, McLaughlin was a pole sitter. However, he was jumped by three drivers, including Chip Ganassi Racing's star. McLaughlin's second race at The Thermal Club was a disaster, and he was the only driver to DNF. In the third race at Long Beach, McLaughlin started 6th and finished in the same position. Whereas Palou won two straight races and finished second in the third one, he is still leading the championship, being 37 points clear of Andretti Autosport's Kyle Kirkwood in second.
Speaking to FOX, after the second race of the season at Thermal Club, McLaughlin spoke about Alex Palou's dominance, his two back-to-back victories, and appreciated the fellow racer's craft.
"Oh mate, full credit. He's doing an amazing job right now," he told reporter Bob Pockrass. "It's a long season, but at the end of the day, if he keeps winning, like that's all we can do. For me, how he executes doesn't affect how I execute. I've just got to go out there and just be as fast as I can. If that's enough, that's enough. If not, work harder."
Alex Palou and Scott McLaughlin will battle it out with 25 other drivers on May 4th at Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham, for the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix.
