NASCAR driver Anthony Alfredo reacts to viral IndyCar promo featuring Alex Palou

NASCAR driver Anthony Alfredo enthusiastically commented on the IndyCar trailer by Fox that features Alex Palou, who is one of just 13 drivers in history to have won the IndyCar championship three times.

This year, FOX will broadcast all 17 IndyCar races including the Indianapolis 500 and to promote the season they released a commercial promoting the 2025 IndyCar season. NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Alfredo praised the humorous promo and wrote on X:

"Bro what is this Alex Palou IndyCar commercial😂 Lowkey great advertising by them 👏 "

FOX had previously shared another promo starring Josef Newgarden, a two-time champion and Indianapolis 500 winner, along with a cameo by NFL legend Tom Brady. You can watch the trailer featuring Palou below:

The IndyCar season starts on March 2 in St. Petersburg, Florida, and will wrap up on August 31 at Nashville Superspeedway.
