Several drivers provided feedback on last Sunday’s $1 Million Challenge at The Thermal Club, while also offering ideas to tweak the format should it continue beyond this year.
Last weekend’s non-points exhibition at the 3.067-mile, 17-turn circuit featured nine hours of testing ahead of qualifying to set the field for two heat races, with the top six advancing into a 20-lap, two-segment main event. The on-track product saw zero lead changes in either the heats or the final, with a combined 39 passes spread across a total of 38 laps .
“Everyone is going to be on used for the most part in the Fast Six. Send them out, give them a little bit of push-to-pass, see what happens. That would be pretty cool.” Reigning and two-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou, who won both his heat and the final in dominating fashion to collect $500,000, delivered a unique thought on how to keep people from being conservative if the event returns.
