Palou's Day Turns Sour in Washington

Palou, the reigning and four-time IndyCar Series champion, led only at the start of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix when the green flag was waved by President Donald Trump. His troubles began on lap 36 when he struck a right-rear tire during his first pit stop, ending his time at the front of the race.

The incident marked a challenging outing for Palou, who has been dominating the championship this season. Despite the setback, the Spaniard remains focused on maintaining his lead in the points standings as the season progresses. newssport.cv
