Alex Palou captured the NTT P1 Award for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C., with a 56.899-second lap in the Fast Six session on the new 1.7-mile street circuit around the National Mall. The four-time champion and series points leader enters with six wins, six poles, and a 133-point advantage over Kyle Kirkwood, extending his strong record on temporary street courses where he has adapted quickly to unfamiliar layouts. Chip Ganassi Racing's consistent setup and Palou's recent practice-topping times reinforced trader consensus around his qualifying edge. Late mechanical problems, an unexpected track evolution, or a rare error in the single-lap shootout remain the primary variables that could still shift the outcome despite the overwhelming implied probability.
