The NTT IndyCar Series competed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course and it was a chaotic event. A multi-car accident on the first lap took multiple drivers and put them in the back with damage. Then, a timely caution put Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood on the wrong side of the strategy. At the end of the day, a McLaren driver stole the show.
Christian Lundgaard and the No. 7 team for McLaren won the Sonsio Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Road Course, earning their first victory of the 2026 IndyCar season. Lundgaard passed David Malukas with around 20 laps to go and pulled away, securing his first victory with McLaren.
