Alex Palou Has 5 Titles, But Can He Win A Record 8?

Alex Palou just won his fifth IndyCar title at 29 — the youngest five-time champion and already being mentioned in the same breath as legends like A.J. Foyt and Scott Dixon.
He’s not daydreaming about breaking the all-time record; Palou says he’s focused on next weekend’s race at Laguna Seca and on fixing small issues (seven poles this year but few pole-to-win conversions).
Teammates and rivals are full of praise and playful banter — Dixon tipped Palou as a future all-time great, Pato O’Ward joked about giving goats, and talk of a new 2028 car adds intrigue for the championship race.
