Pato O'Ward had a weekend to remember at the Milwaukee Mile, scoring two victories within a few hours. After the first race was delayed by rain, the Mexican driver showed his prowess again in the second race held on Sunday evening.
The first race, which had been halted by heavy rain on lap 90, resumed after a 25-hour-40-minute delay. During that long pause, the entire second race took place, with O'Ward emerging victorious. When the first race resumed, O'Ward and David Malukas traded the lead, but O'Ward capitalized on the final restart to claim his second win.
The victory was special for O'Ward, who celebrated with donuts on the front straight. Meanwhile, Malukas, relying on his team's undercut strategy, had to settle for second place, marking his seventh runner-up finish without a win.
Rinus VeeKay completed the podium in third, capping off an impressive weekend. However, the spotlight was on Alex Palou, who clinched his fifth IndyCar title despite finishing 10th in the second race. With an insurmountable points lead, Palou joined legends like A.J. Foyt and Scott Dixon in the five-title club.
Scott McLaughlin, who was in the top three for most of the race, had to settle for fourth after losing out in a tight battle on the final restart. Palou's decision to use a new Honda engine this weekend raised questions about a potential penalty at the season finale in Laguna Seca.
