Four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou enters the 2026 season off the heals of the most successful INDYCAR season in over 50 years. Palou won eight races in 2025, including the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500, in route to a third consecutive INDYCAR championship.

The 28-year-old from just outside Barcelona, Spain, is the youngest four-time champion in INDYCAR history. His three consecutive titles from 2023-25 made him the first to achieve three-in-a-row since Dario Franchitti’s 2009-11 championships, when he also drove the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. Palou is the fourth driver to win multiple INDYCAR championships with Chip Ganassi Racing (Scott Dixon; Dario Franchitti; Alex Zanardi).

Palou has 19 wins, 13 poles and 44 podiums in his INDYCAR career, achieving it all in under 100 starts. He won in his debut race with the Chip Ganassi Racing in 2021 at Barber Motorsports Park on the way to a championship that season. He made his INDYCAR debut in 2020, scoring a podium in his inaugural season with Dale Coyne Racing.

Prior to making the jump to North American racing, Palou won a Super Formula Championship race in 2019, competed at the All-Japan Formula 3 championship in 2017, recorded his first race in the Formula 3 Series in 2015, and made his debut in open-wheel racing competing in the Euroformula Open Championship in 2014.

Palou spends time away from the track with his wife, Esther, and his daughter, Lucia.
