Newly-crowned Indianapolis 500 winner Alex Palou says he would “absolutely” love to giv🥀e the NASCAR Cup Series a try in the future.

𓄧The Chip Ganassi Racing star added a major missing piece to his resume last weekend with a breakthrough victory in the Indy 500, which was also his first on an ova🐎l track.

The Spaniar🌳d had already won three IndyCar titles coming into 2025, but his dominant run this season has catapulted him among the greatest drivers in the series’ history. 

Palou has never raced a stock car, but does possess some experience🙈 outside of single-seaters. He contested a full season of SUPER GT in 2019, and has♈ made select IMSA SportsCar Championship appearances over the past four years.

But while a full-ti⭕me switch to another discipline isn’t on his radar, the Spaniard admitted he is intrigued by the idea of a one-off NASCAR outing.

On Kevin Harvick’sꦬ podcast, Palou was asked whether he’d be interested in following in the footsteps of other IndyCar drivers and contestng a NASCAR race on a road course.

T🐼he 28-year-old replied: “Oh absolutely. I will be down for that. 

“It’s a very different car, it’s a very different kind of racing. But💝 I know I would get smashed by all of you guys on ovals. But I would love to give it a try on a road or street course.”

Larson’s enthusiasm for NASCAR is in stark contrast to his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:reluctance to move to F1, having stated in an interview earlier this week that he doesn’t “want to 𓂃leave [IndyCar] now.”

Interestingly, this year’s Indy 500 saw 2021 Cup Series champion Kyle Larson make a second consecutive appear🦹ance as he attempted the famous ‘double’.

The Hendrick Motorsports star also 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结❀果历史:invited IndyCar drivers to give a crack at NASCAR and compete in both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the samജe day.
