With just 4 races to come in the IndyCar season, it really is Alex Palou’s title to lose at this point.
We will get more into that when we start to break down the potential favorites for this weekend, but the reality is that time is running out for the drivers still in with a shot at running down the current leader.

My IndyCar BITNILE.COM GP Analysis
While the lead is sizeable, it is still not impossible for one of the chasing pack to run down the leader, but for a driver to do it, they are going to need to get hot very quickly.
The first chance to do that comes this Saturday in Oregon with the running of the BITNILE.COM Grand Prix of Portland.
Who will come out on top? Let’s take a look at some of the potential winners.
^Àlex Palou
With 2 championship wins in the last 3 seasons, Palou has quickly become the man to beat in IndyCar.
Rather than resting on his laurels, he has improved his game this season and is very much on the brink of winning it all once again.
With 4 races to come, Palou is sitting on 443 points, which has him 59 points up on his closest rival.
That said, he has now gone 5 races without a win and is perhaps a little fortunate that the wins have been spread out across several drivers instead of one getting hot and closing the gap.
In the years that he won the championship, Palou won in Portland, so let’s take him to win again here.

Colton Herta
While he may have left his challenge a little too, late, Herta is on the move and is now sitting in 2nd. He comes into this one having finished in the top 5 in each of the last 3 races, with one win in there for good measure.
He could make things very interesting if he can win again this weekend, but this is not a race that has been particularly kind to him.
His best finish in this race is 6th, but I would be willing to play him to finish in the top 5 given his current form.
^Scott Dixon
Last season, Dixon went on a tear at this stage of the season, winning 3 of the last 4 races to finish 2nd overall in the driver standings.
He is going to need a finish similar to that if he is to run down Palou and take his 7th World Championship crown.
^Will Power
With a win in Iowa a few races back, it looked as though Power might be the one to make a late charge.
That has not panned out as expected, though, as he has now failed to crack the top 10 in each of the last 2 races.
He now very much looks like a long shot to go on and win it all, but perhaps he can turn things around in Portland.
He did have a 2nd place finish on this course a couple of seasons ago, so perhaps a top 3 wager is not out of the question.
