What a couple weeks of racing in the Indy Car world!
Alex Palou won the Indy 500 and probably has the championship wrapped up for him as winner this year.
Alex has had an amazing career in racing and has been very successful in Indy Car with championships in 2021, 2023, 2024 and most likely again this year.
In 2024 he also won the Million Dollar Challenge at Thermal Park in California.
He is still very young and has a great future as one of the nicest guys on pit lane with a great attitude. Doesn't have an F1 Max Verstappen attitude when driving because he races clean.
Cancer has slowed me down a bunch and I missed Indy because of it. But we keep fighting. I have great support with my wife and we just keep on going.
Enjoy some photos of Alex from the Dale Coyne racing days in 2020 when he won at Road America and others through last year.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

About Rich Zimmermann
Rich Zimmermann is an internationally collected photographer based in Milwaukee,Wisconsin.
Since 1971, I have photographed the Milwaukee area music scene. In addition to that, I have photographed many weddings and done many portraits. Some of my favorite portraiture has been that of Indy car drivers in pit lane and on the grid at racetracks around Wisconsin. The excitement and adrenaline rush I get photographing on pit lane is equivalent to the fun and excitement of photographing musicians on stage or backstage!
