What to Watch For at Phoenix

• That One Guy is back at it: Alex Palou and the #10 Chip Ganassi Racing team continued their winning ways in the opening NTT INDYCAR SERIES race of 2026. Following a momentous year in 2025 that saw Palou take victory in eight races, including the Indianapolis 500, the Spaniard started 2026 right where he left off-in victory lane. The #10 Honda-powered machine took the checkered flag at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg by more than 13 seconds, a record for the event.
• The dynamic Dale Coyne duo: Dale Coyne Racing started their 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES campaign strong, with both cars reaching the Firestone Fast Six round of qualifying for the first time since Detroit 2022. Former F1 driver Romain Grosjean-who previously raced for Coyne in 2021-started P6 and finished P8, while his teammate, the 2025 INDY NXT champion, Dennis Hauger qualified third and finished 10th in his very first IndyCar series outing.
• Destination PHX: Phoenix Raceway was a regular part of the USAC, CART and Indy Racing League schedules from its opening in 1964 until 2005. It was briefly revived as an IndyCar series race in 2016-2018. Honda has propelled drivers to victory twice at Phoenix, with Tony Kanaan taking the win in 2003 and 2004 aboard his Andretti Green Racing Honda. Additionally, Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon has a victory at Phoenix on the series' return to the track in 2016. Of the 2026 Honda-powered lineup, only Dixon, Will Power and Graham Rahal have previously raced at Phoenix.
