Ericsson finished second to Alex Palou on Sunday when he was unable to make a winning pass in the closing laps.

From enjoying the view at the Empire State Building to throwing the first pitch at the Mets game, Indy 500 winner Alex Palou's victory lap is fit for a champ.

Alex Palou’s decision to show his love for the Indiana Pacers comes at a time when the Gainbridge Fieldhouse outfit is locked in an Eastern Conference Final with the New York Knicks. The series currently has the Pacers leading three games to one, with the next match slated for Madison Square Garden in New York on May 29.

After four straight finishes in the top 10, Álex Palou is the Indianapolis 500 winner for the first time. The three-time IndyCar Series champion held off Marcus Ericsson down the final stretch to earn a trip to the winner's circle and the best glass of milk he'll ever drink.

Alex Palou's historic win also brought big viewership to the first running of the Indy 500 to ever air on FOX, which saw a 40% jump in viewership from last year.

Alexander Rossi's Indianapolis 500 hopes took a turn for the worst on Sunday as his vehicle caught fire in the pits, sparking a panic in his box.
