Defending NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion and current points leader Alex Palou in the No.10 OpenAI Chip Ganassi Racing Honda says he only has himself to blame after running wide at Turn 9 at Mid-Ohio on Sunday.
Palou was leading the race, when in the closing stages he ran wide and off track resulting in Scott Dixon taking the lead of the race and claiming his 59 career victories.
Palou led a total 75 of 90 laps and speaking following the action he said:
Just a stupid mistake, honestly. “A mistake on my part. The car was amazing all weekend, all race. I just lost it a little bit on (corner) entry and kind of really couldn’t get power going on.
“Nobody to blame but me. Just got a bit wide on entry and lost it completely.”
Palou heads to Iowa next weekend with a 113 point lead in the championship over Kyle Kirkwood.
