The Argentine achieved his best position in the off-schedule challenge since he competed in the category and pocketed an incredible amount.
Agustín Canapino achieved his best performance since his arrival in IndyCar To himmillion dollar careerA challenge off the calendar which he distributed the best championship prizes, a total purse of nearly two million dollars. The Argentinian He finished tenth and took home a juicy sum.
Alex Palou (Chip Ganassi) is the great dominator this Sunday and the thermal test winner to stay on half a million, while the second is classified, Scott McLaughlin (Penske), sack 350 thousand and the third, Joseph Newgarden (Penske), 250 thousand.
The Spanish driver, current champion of the category, dominoes from start to finish, both in the preliminary tests and in the final race. No one else took first place while Palou was on the track. As for what he will do with the money, his recent fatherhood clearly marks the priorities for the Catalan, who joked: “I need to buy diapers, so it’s on to that and some parties with team people.
Cannabis (Juncos Hollinger), however, managed to get on everyone’s lips along with his tenth place, which gave him the right to receive 23 thousand dollars. In his social networks, he celebrated it with a message: “First Top 10 in IndyCar!!! Have a great weekend, always competitive on a very changing and difficult circuit. Thank you so much @juncoshollinger! “Enjoy it and keep working hard.” And in another post, he directly poked fun at the winner: “I imagine that includes the prize will you invite us to eat, @AlexPalou!!! Congratulations, crack beast.”
The million dollar career, a change in the search for attractiveness
IndyCar premieres this new format in purest All-Star style, distributing across the largest prize money awarded in this category outside of the Indianapolis 500, specifically 1,756,000 dollars.
The worst news was for the downed or injured pilots, most of whom were distraught by the news, in addition to different teams that not only left without a profit, but had several cars destroyed by accidents.
The competition system consists of dthe independent races first, both at 10 laps or twenty minutes, what happened earlier Only six drivers advanced to the final round to each of them, for one last may 12 participants in 20 laps with a pause between the first 10 and 10 seconds.
One of the great attractions is that The set of tires that each driver chooses is the one with which they have to face the full test. Only in emergency situations was it allowed to visit the pits.
The first of two preliminaries event: In the first lap several drivers had to retire due to an accident with Romain Grosjean (Juncos Hollinger) as the star, who was three cars ahead. Canapino showed his driving skills, taking fifth position and qualifying for the final race with winner Felix Rosenqvist (Meyer Shank), Scott McLaughlin, Josef Newgarden, Christian Lundgaard (Rahal Letterman) and Colton Herta (Andretti).
The second round was controlled by Palou at will, with his partner Armstrong (Chip Ganassi) behind him, positioned very well. The two Chip Ganassis beat the rest of the drivers by 10 seconds for most of the test. Linus Lundqvist (Chip-Ganassi), Pietro Fittipaldi (Rahal Letterman) and Graham Rahal (Rahal Letterman) also qualified for the final round.
In the final, Palou settled in the first position since the green flag, with McLaughlin as the main chaser, but out of the Spanish driver’s condition. All participants opted for a conservative first half, following a strategy to keep the tires that would allow them to take more risks in the last 10 laps, something they were ultimately unable to do. The only one who tried was a Herta who started in the last position and surpassed all his rivalsusing a different approach, culminating in a pass he made on Armstrong’s Chip Ganassi to finish fourth. Each position doubles the economic prize and the Californian is clear about it.
Palou won at will, without threats and shows that its silence and quality are more than enough for the competition and, also, for this type of exhibitions.
