Who is Alex Palou and why is he significant?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast. This episode of the Dan Lopetar Show with Stu Gatz is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Stu Gatz, Alex Palo isn't just a champion. He is the greatest. And I don't know whether he's willing to say he's the greatest or not, but he's a three-time IndyCar Series champion. He's looking to go back-to-back this season. He's won five of his last six races, which is crazy, and finished second in the other one. And he got the Indy 500 yesterday. He's the first Spaniard to do so. So we're very excited about that. to have Alex on the show. Thank you for joining us, Alex. What have the last 24 hours been like for you? How did you sleep? How did you celebrate? How crazy has life been?
Thank you guys for having me in the show, but it's been crazy. I mean, as you can see, I lost my voice. There's been a lot of screaming and celebrating with the team, with the family.
Can you tell me what the highlight was after winning and all of the experiences of the last 24 hours after the winning? Does it have to be the milk?
Yes, I would say the milk. I mean, the milk is the biggest tradition, right? And it's the biggest difference to all other races instead of champagne is milk. And that milk tasted so good. I loved it every second of it. But I would say the victory lap we did at the end. So basically I went over a pickup truck and I did a lap after the race was complete, just saying hello to the fans and thank you. So that it was the first time that I was able to experience so many fans and to celebrate with them. There was a lot of people that stayed with us to celebrate at the end. So that was probably one of the highlights.
How about in terms of people you heard from, somebody you were able to share it with, that it was a little extra moving than it might have been other underserved. Somebody who understood what it meant for you to win this race.
I haven't had much time to go over the phone and all the messages. Honestly, it's been nonstop. But I heard there was Pau Gasol that used to be in the Lakers that he won. He's been following me lately, I think, because he knows that obviously I'm from Spain and I'm racing here in U.S. So similar to him. Then I had I received a letter from the kings of Spain, which that's pretty cool. I mean, it's not every day that you you receive a letter from them. So, yeah, I cannot wait to go and scroll all over the messages.
So you literally went Pau before the king. You did go Pau Gasol, bit of a stunner to go Pau over the king.
He's a legend, man.
but also also stunning that you just simply haven't had time to listen or look at your messages have you slept at all i slept yeah i would say like four hours after the race and then another four or five hours uh last night um we went to the banquet celebration last night uh in indianapolis and uh we got to new york at about 1 a.m so um yeah it's been uh It's been nonstop, but honestly, it's been amazing. Like, I'm enjoying every second of it. I'm very tired, but I'm loving.
Dan introduced you as the greatest IndyCar driver of all time. Are you?
No, absolutely not. Wow. Is that what he did? I mean...
No one's had this kind of start since A.J. Foyt. It was 50 years ago.
He's having an incredible season. People don't really know. This race takes like three weeks to qualify and practice for. There were over 7 million people watching, over 350,000 people in attendance. I'm sure part of the celebration is, well, I've done it. But also, where do you go from here? You're in the middle of one of the greatest seasons ever. It's kind of hard to kind of reacclimate to the grind of the regular season in IndyCar.
Yeah, honestly, it's been an amazing start of the season for us. Chip Ganassi Racing and the 10 car, like we've won five of the first six races. I've never experienced it, anything like that. But the team has done an amazing job on IndyCar. giving us a really fast car every single weekend. Where do we go from here? Detroit.
