Thanks to our friends at BorgWarner, Pit Pass Indy had the chance to spend the day with 109th Indianapolis 500 winning driver Alex Palou and famed sculptor William Behrends for a live study session on September 18. Palou served as the model as Behrends meticulously worked on a life-sized clay head of Palou, adding the finer details that is an important part of the process. Once that process is completed, a sterling silver casting about the size of an egg will be attached to the Borg-Warner Trophy.

Later in November, Palou’s face will be unveiled on the Borg-Warner Trophy in Indianapolis.

Martin has exclusive interviews with Palou and Behrends, BorgWarner President and CEO Joseph Fadool, BorgWarner Global Director Marketing and Communications Michelle Collins and FOX Sports Feature Producer Katie Weigel.
