Alex Palou, the reigning and four-time IndyCar Series champion, won the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach after using a late pit-stop sequence to overtake pole-sitter Felix Rosenqvist.
Palou drove the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to a 4.198-second victory over Felix Rosenqvist at the 1.968-mile temporary street circuit, with Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon finishing third to complete a Honda podium sweep.
Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood finished fourth and Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward was fifth; Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin placed sixth, with Team Penske's David Malukas seventh, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing's Graham Rahal eighth, Ed Carpenter Racing's Alexander Rossi ninth and Chip Ganassi Racing's Kyffin Simpson tenth.
Felix Rosenqvist led early before Palou jumped Pato O'Ward into Turn 1 on the second lap and closed the gap through pit-stop rotations; Team Penske's Josef Newgarden's three-stop strategy briefly put him in the lead, while Andretti Global's Marcus Ericsson retired with a hybrid issue on Lap 44.
