Scott McLaughlin remains optimistic about chances to take the fight to championship leader Alex Palou with five races remaining in the 2024 IndyCar Series season.
McLaughlin currently sits sixth in the title race at 83 points behind Palou . It is a remarkable comeback after he sat 29th in the championship standings after two rounds following Team Penske’s push-to-pass scandal. The penalty negated his podium finish in the season-opening Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, but the New Zealander has since gone on to claim two wins, five podiums and seven top 10s.
“I think we're well in reach to get there if we can perform well on the ovals, which I know I feel comfortable on the ovals now. There's no doubt in my mind we can get there. Yeah, 100 percent confidence.” Scott McLaughlin, Team Penske Chevrolet celebrates winning the NTT P1 Award for taking the pole Photo by: Michael L.
