Two-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou enters his fifth season overall and fourth with Chip Ganassi Racing. Hailing from Barcelona, Spain, Palou has competed and won races in Euroformula Open, Spanish Formula 3, GP3, Japanese Formula 3 and Super Formula. After a race win, Palou celebrates by eating fried chicken, a tradition that dates to his karting days. He remembers seeing a go-kart track while walking to school with his father in Spain as the first time he became interested in karting. Away from the track, Palou enjoys sports, outdoor activities and music.
