Palou, the 28-year-old Spaniard who won the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, took center stage before the Mets' showdown with the White Sox at Citi Field.

Palou, who is dominating so far in the 2025 IndyCar season, is looking to win once again at the 2025 Detroit Grand Prix.

Alex Palou’s decision to show his love for the Indiana Pacers comes at a time when the Gainbridge Fieldhouse outfit is locked in an Eastern Conference Final with the New York Knicks. The series currently has the Pacers leading three games to one, with the next match slated for Madison Square Garden in New York on May 29.

Alex Palou's historic win also brought big viewership to the first running of the Indy 500 to ever air on FOX, which saw a 40% jump in viewership from last year.

After four straight finishes in the top 10, Álex Palou is the Indianapolis 500 winner for the first time. The three-time IndyCar Series champion held off Marcus Ericsson down the final stretch to earn a trip to the winner's circle and the best glass of milk he'll ever drink.

Alexander Rossi's Indianapolis 500 hopes took a turn for the worst on Sunday as his vehicle caught fire in the pits, sparking a panic in his box.
