Colton Herta completed a back to back sweep of Indycar's California races with a win at the Long Beach Grand Prix. Spain's Alex Palou finished fourth to claim the season championship.
Palou finished fourth in an easy Sunday drive at the Grand Prix of Long Beach to cap a smooth and steady second season in IndyCar.
"There were moments where I was just feeling like I was living my dream, and now I'm doing it," Palou said after the race. "Oh yeah, 100% dream completed. Let's get another one now."
Colton Herta won the race -- Long Beach is considered his home track -- for his second consecutive win and third of the season. Josef Newgarden finished second and Scott Dixon, the six-time and reigning champion, finished third before turning the IndyCar crown over to Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Palou.
