Will Power took a dominant victory in Portland on Sunday afternoon but failed to cut much into the championship lead of Alex Palou, who followed him right home.

A first lap crash saw Scott Dixon taken out of the race – and most likely the championship – when he was pushed wide by Kyle Kirkwood before getting collected by Pietro Fittipaldi as he recovered to set off an early caution.

Championship leader Palou and his closest challenger Power were clearly the class of the field, battling well clear of their rivals at the front as they continue to whittle down the field of season-long contenders.

Any true title race was always more likely to be decided in the final three races of the season, all on ovals where Palou is historically weaker, but the second place finish will be a huge blow to his rivals.
