Palou held off Marcus Ericsson to win his first Indy 500 last May, en route to his fourth IndyCar championship.
A new piece of racing history debuted Tuesday at the IMS Museum just in time for the Month of May. Defending Indianapolis 500 champion Alex Palou was on hand as his winning car from the 2025 race joined the museum's collection. It's the newest and most modern addition to the museum.
Palou held off Marcus Ericsson to win his first Indy 500 last May, en route to his fourth IndyCar championship. The Spaniard spent Tuesday night reflecting on his victory at Indy and a moment years before during a visit to the museum in 2019 — before he drove in the IndyCar Series. "I remember seeing all the cars, all the history, the board for the first time live and, yeah, to have this space for me and to know that we've won this huge race, it just feels incredible," Palou said.
Seeing his car in the IMS Museum is just the latest honor for Palou, as he prepares to defend his victory in the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 24. In November, Palou got his first look at his face on the Borg-Warner Trophy. Then in February, he helped unveil this year's Indianapolis 500 ticket , which features a photo of his celebration following last year's victory.
