Alex Palou won the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach after 90 laps. Palou took the lead from Felix Rosenqvist late in the race to claim his third victory of the season. Rosenqvist led for the first 51 laps before a caution changed the race dynamics.
Scott Dixon, Palou's Chip Ganassi Racing teammate, finished third, securing his first podium of the 2026 season. Kyle Kirkwood, the previous year's winner, finished fourth, followed by Pato O'Ward in fifth. Scott McLaughlin and David Malukas secured sixth and seventh respectively. Josef Newgarden's three-stop strategy did not yield the desired results, leaving him outside the top five.
Palou now leads the IndyCar championship standings.
