    Qualifying report: <\/strong>Recap of each round on IMS road course<\/a><\/p>\n

    IndyCar Indianapolis Grand Prix expert picks, predictions<\/p>\n

    From\u00a0Nathan Brown, IndyStar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Race winner<\/strong>:\u00a0Alex Palou<\/strong>. Boring pick? You bet. But until proven otherwise, I\u2019m going to stop picking against the two-time defending series champ who has won three of the first four races \u2013 two in truly dominating fashion. Palou has also won the past two IMS road course races, and Chip Ganassi Racing has won the last three.<\/p>\n

    Palou\u2019s winning margin<\/strong>: We’re adding a category because “race winner” seems too easy. Let’s go with\u00a04 seconds<\/strong>. Odds are we finally get our first caution since Lap 1 at St. Pete, and so what could have been a larger victory is a bit smaller, though plenty comfortable.<\/p>\n

    Something you might not expect<\/strong>:\u00a0A yellow flag<\/strong>. We see our first caution in 339 laps, and it comes on Lap 1 as the mid-pack weaves through the opening chicane and can\u2019t stay side-by-side cleanly before reaching the backstretch.<\/p>\n
