IndyCar champ Palou's 'fake' quote controversy causes confusion about his future
Fox News
Alex Palou said he is moving to McLaren next season, but his current team, Chip Ganassi Racing, released a statement saying it plans to keep him in its IndyCar.
Shortly after Chip Ganassi Racing announced Tuesday it would exercise a team option to keep the star Spaniard next season, Palou and Arrow McLaren SP said they had agreed to a deal for 2023.
"I have recently learned from the media that this afternoon, without my approval, Chip Ganassi Racing issued a press release announcing that I would be driving with CGR in 2023," Palou wrote on Twitter. "Even more surprising was that CGR's release included a ‘quote’ which did not come from me. I did not author or approve that quote. As I have recently informed CGR, for personal reasons, I do not intend to continue with the team after 2022."
