Alex Palou, the reigning and four-time IndyCar Series champion, had a "not a good day" in Washington, D.C., despite starting from pole position in the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. The Spaniard only led at the start when the green flag was waved by President Donald Trump before his weekend took a turn for the worse.
Palou's troubles began during his first pit stop on lap 36 of 147, when he struck a right-rear tire belonging to another competitor, leading to a challenging race ahead. truewildgame.com
