This weekend, the IndyCar Series heads to one of America’s most beautiful tracks: Road America. On this 4-mile (6.5 km) circuit in Wisconsin, Alex Palou hopes to get his nearly flawless season—up until the Indy 500—back on track after two disappointing race weekends. However, last year it was Team Penske that dominated with a 1-2-3 finish at Road America. Will Chevrolet claim its first win of the season this weekend? Here's everything you need to know!
