By the Numbers: the Alabama Indy Grand Prix The Alabama Indy Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park may have delivered plenty of excitement on Saturday, but Sunday was a bit less spectacular

Less action on Sunday, but the fastest race ever at Barber! 📊 #IndyCar #INDYBHM

20 fewer passes than last year, 6 teams in the top six, Palou closing the gap and Honda domination.

Here are the numbers ⬇️

#INDYBHM: A great race with BRUTAL drama. Lundgaard with the worst 2nd-place in some time, Rahal losing his grip on 2nd and just held on to 3rd, Grosjean going from promise to poverty. But even through lost fortunes, still loads of prime racecraft on display and an exciting watch. #IndyCar

📄 Au championnat de l'IndyCar, Álex Palou remonte à seulement 2 points de Kyle Kirkwood.
