Alex Palou may not be from the United States, but his trip to the White House<\/a> and seeing the Oval Office is something he hopes to tell his grandchildren about some day.<\/p>\n

Palou and other NTT INDYCAR SERIES stars will make history this weekend in Washington, D.C., as the first-ever auto race around the National Mall will take place. A 1.7-mile circuit, which involves driving down Pennsylvania Avenue and seeing tons of national landmarks, will make up the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Before the race takes place, Palou and other drivers including Pato O\u2019Ward and Graham Rahal took time to answer questions on Thursday. Palou was among those who were able to visit President Donald Trump<\/a> in the White House in July ahead of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Palou, who hails from Spain, was asked about his experience, and he knew the right word to describe it.<\/p>\n

“Incredible,” he responded. “Honestly, that\u2019s the only word that comes to mind. I remember the visit we did a month ago when I got invited to the White House. I was like, \u2018Really? For real?\u2019 I was going to be able to go inside and just see how the Oval Office is, and just knowing the history that it has.<\/p>\n

“I know I\u2019m not from this country, but this country has given me so much. Just the opportunity to be here as an IndyCar driver, a winner, a champion, and to create a family and build a family here in the U.S. It\u2019s been incredible.”<\/p>\n

Palou even had a moment where he got sprayed with the president\u2019s cologne.<\/p>\n

“Just being able to be with the President and his team, being at the Oval Office<\/a>. We got sprayed with Presidential cologne, which was pretty funny,” he said. “Just an incredible experience. An experience I\u2019ll be able to tell not only my kids, but hopefully one day my grandkids and stuff.”<\/p>\n

Palou said he grew up watching movies where he was fascinated by the Oval Office being on his screen. He also remembered seeing Capitol Hill while watching as well.<\/p>\n

The fact that he\u2019s not only seen these places up close and personal, but he\u2019s racing by the landmarks, is something he\u2019s really looking forward to.<\/p>\n

“To know that we\u2019re going to be racing around it \u2014 it\u2019s going to be incredible,” he added.<\/p>\n

Palou, 29, is the sport\u2019s top driver, as he\u2019s very likely to win his fifth season championship in a month, and fourth straight. In fact, he\u2019s won at least one of every four IndyCar races over the past six seasons.<\/p>\n

Only Sebastien Bourdais was able to win four straight season championships from 2004-07. Palou\u2019s 542 points has created a staggering gap between the closest driver, Kyle Kirkwood, who has 409 points.<\/p>\n

In his 14 starts this season, Palou has six wins, 11 top-five finishes and 12 top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n

But while everyone will be excited to watch him race around the National Mall this weekend, he\u2019s excited for the rest of his peers to experience it together.<\/p>\n

“Super excited like everyone to go out on the track and see how it\u2019s going to race. It looks really, really promising with so many laps we\u2019re going to do. It\u2019s going to be a super interesting race with lots of changes on strategies with leads and stuff. I can\u2019t wait to go out,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
