PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Alex Palou has been on cruise control all season as he's chased a second IndyCar championship in three years. He's had almost no bad luck — save for a pit lane incident that likely cost him the Indianapolis 500 — and has packed four wins into this impressive season. The Spaniard hasn't had a single mechanical problem, has completed all but two laps this season and hasn't finished lower than eighth through 15 races. So the math headed into Sunday's penultimate race of the season is clear: A podium finish at Portland International Raceway secures Palou the title no matter what happens with Scott Dixon, his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate and the only other driver who can claim the championship.
