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.
