Alex Palou can do today at Portland International Raceway what no driver in this field has ever done, and that includes Scott Dixon, the most successful NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver of his generation and one of the best of all-time. Palou can secure the series championship ahead of the season’s final race. Dixon has finished in the top seven of 14 of the 15 races this season, and last month he extended his streak of consecutive seasons with at least one race win to 19. Palou’s march to the title begins from the fifth position, and it is the primary storyline of today’s 110-lap race. But even more important is his streak of consecutive seasons with at least one race win. Power’s total stands at 16 consecutive seasons dating to a pair of race wins in Champ Car in 2007. It’s anyone’s guess which works better in the 110-lap race.
