Winning the Indy 500 takes more than speed. It takes strategy, focus, and relentless consistency over 500 miles. This year, Alex Palou delivered exactly that—earning a hard-fought victory at the 108th running of the race with the support of FluidLogic hydration technology.
Seamless Hydration with MagLock® Hydro
During a race where every second counts, staying hydrated has to be effortless. Alex Palou uses the MagLock® Hydro, our compact, helmet-mounted magnetic connection that makes in-race hydration smooth and secure, with no drilling or modifications required.
Designed for peak performance and total convenience, MagLock Hydro uses a strong magnetic coupling to lock in the fluid line, allowing for instant, hands-free hydration at the push of a button. When conditions are at their most intense, simplicity and reliability are key—and that's exactly what MagLock delivers.
