Alex Palou’s sixth triumph of the 2026 season at Portland widened his championship advantage to 110 points, positioning him firmly ahead of Kyle Kirkwood as the series heads to Round 14 on the newly opened Streets of Markham in Ontario, Canada.
Race Overview
The 2.19‑mile street circuit will request 90 consecutive laps of high‑speed combat on Sunday. Palou’s current points lead leaves the championship still open, but the margin is substantial; any result other than a dramatic downturn for him could define the remainder of the season.
