  • Alex Palou won three titles from the Indycar series, and only one included winning the season start.
  • Indycar All-Timer Scott Dixon and Josef Newgarden complete the podium.

Alex Palou begins his search for a third championship in the Indycar series in a row with a win at the Downtown Street Course in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Palou started the 8th place on the way to his first start in St. Pete in St. Pete. In 2022 he took the 2nd place. Palou now has 12 Indycar races.

Indycar Heavy-Wicht Scott Dixon and Josef Newgarden complete the podium, and the pole sitter Scott McLaughlin takes 4th place.

Key moment of the race: Palou, the three-time series champion, hit a round of six times a champion at his last station. Palou stormed to a guided tour of more than 5 seconds. Newgarden stormed back mirrors in Palous before ran in the last rounds after drying so that Dixon could get through.

It is Palou's second season opening win. He opened the 2021 season by winning his first championship at Barber on the way to his first championship.

Round 95: Alex Palou, Josef Newgarden and Scott Dixon deal with Sting Ray Robb's jammed car.

Round 90: Josef Newgarden pulled from Alex Palou, who encounters the charged traffic within 1.5 seconds. Scott Dixon is 3+ behind the leader.

Round 73-74: Scott Dixon, Josef Newgarden, Alex Palou and Scott McLaughlin take their last pit stops. Palou comes from this stop and leads by 5+ seconds, followed by Newgarden, Dixon and McLaughlin.

Round 69: Christian Lundgaard Pits to take over the alternative tires. Scott Dixon takes the lead.

Round 63: Alexander Rossi Pits to take over the alternative tires and falls on the 11th place. He will probably have to compete again to return to the primary elections.

Round 60: Christian Lundgaard leads Alexander Rossi 1+ seconds. Scott Dixon remains in the 3rd place.

Christian Lundgaard and Alexander Rossi still have to use the alternative “green” tires that offer more speed but less durability. Scott McLaughlin used hits for only 12 laps. Scott Dixon and Josef Newgarden are strong positions for later in the race.

Rounds 44-45: Marcus Armstrong and Scott McLaughlin Pit again under green to return to primary tires. Alternatively, the drivers have to run “green” tires for a few rounds. Armstong may have hit a wall that influenced its rear suspension.

All guides make a pit stop under green. Marcus Armstrongs is a little slow, and Colton Herta's crew has difficulty changing the right rear tire, which costs several seconds. The drivers who run during the box include Armstrong, Herta, Josef Newgarden and Scott Dixon. Dixon and Alex Palou Pit at the end of round 40.

Round 25: The FOX team reports that Pato O'Ward had a fed -out tire and asked for a pit stop under green. He is in the 24th place that last on the right track.

The field remains stable and Scott McLaughlin has a 1-second lead.

When the Florida car left, Josef Newgarden was shown as the winner, followed by Pato O'Ward and Scott McLaughlin.

However, the team penske drivers (Newgarden and McLaughlin) were later disqualified due to violation of rules in the use of push-to-pass pass, while teammate Will Power was docked. O'Ward was declared third with Power Second and Colton Herta.

Mailbag part 2: Answering readers questions about Indycars new TV deal with Fox Sports

By Nathan Brown, Indystar

Racing winner: Scott McLaughlin won this race in 2022, plunged late when he fought for the lead in 2003 and took second place in 2004 before he was disqualified in the push-to-pass saga. After taking third place in the championship in the past two years, the Team Penske driver feels early.

Something you may not expect: Callum ilott I carried out its first on-track test with Prema Racing at the end of January, but a top 15 finish would be a emphatic message that Indycar's latest team is one or two steps before other newer newcomers.
