After Pato O'Ward finished in dead last in Portland thanks to a electrical wire issue, Alex Palou has clinched his fourth world championship in five seasons.

Sitting on 626 points at the top of the table, the gap between him and O'Ward now sits at 151 points and out of the reach of the Mexican driver.

O'Ward had made his best attempts in Portland to delay Palou's championship to Milwaukee after he started on pole but fate seemed to intervene.

O'Ward's position in second was not damaged to heavily thanks to Scott Dixon also having a poor race after handed a drive through penalty.

Dixon shoved Josef Newgarden into a spin into Turn One after the Penske driver came out of the pits which demoted him to an 11th finish.

Dixon gained 13 points on O'Ward and now sits 64 points behind him with two races to go.

Arrow McLaren driver, Christian Lundgaard's second place finish puts him in grasp of taking Dixon's third place in the standings sat only 13 points behind the Chip Ganassi driver.

Lundgaard has shot up the championship in recent races after he has scored two second place finishes in a row.

Scoring an extra point for his pole position on Saturday, Lundgaard overtook Kyle Kirkwood for fourth in Portland who finished 20th as his disappointing run of results continue.

Much like Lundgaard, Power's race win in Portland has jumped him up the table from ninth to sixth.

He now sits 45 points Kirkwood and is by far the leading Penske car despite the only one at risk of losing his seat.

Scott McLaughlin sits in 11th while the last Penske driver, Josef Newgarden will finish his worst-ever IndyCar season in 18th.

Newgarden has dropped three places in the standings after Portland.

Further down the field, Graham Rahal's excellent strategy in Portland which saw him finish fourth has helped him jump up the board from 19th to 15th.
 
Callum Ilott., who was on the same strategy as Rahal and finished sixth, has also moved up the standings and overtaken his Prema teammate, Robert Shwartzman, as he moves to 22nd.
 
One of the three rookies this season, Robert Shwartzman and Louis Foster are separated by only six points as we head into the final races.
 
Although Foster has previously said he isn't worried about being named Rookie of the Year, the pressure is on for the title.
