The Grand Prix of Portland (known as OnlyBulls Grand Prix of Portland due to sponsorship reasons) is an Indy Car Series race held at Portland International Raceway in Portland, Oregon. The race was held every year from 1984 through 2007 first as a CART series race, then as part of Champ Car World Series. After a ten-year absence, the race returned to the IndyCar Series for the 2018 season. Portland is best-remembered as being the site of two of the closest finishes on a road course in Indy car racing history. In 1986, Michael Andretti lost fuel pressure on the final turn of the final lap, which allowed his father Mario to catch up and beat him to the finish line by 0.070 seconds. At the time, it was the closest finish of any race in Indy car history. In 1997, in a three-wide finish, Mark Blundell beat second place Gil de Ferran by 0.027 seconds, and beat third place Raul Boesel by 0.055 seconds. For a road course race, it was the all-time closest finish in CART series history, as well as the closest three-car finish in series history. The 2026 OnlyBulls Grand Prix of Portland was won by Alex Palou, marking his sixth victory of the NTT IndyCar Series season. The 110-lap race took place at the 1.964-mile Portland International Raceway. Palou started on the front row next to pole-sitter Felix Rosenqvist. He took control early, establishing a dominant pace with consistent sub-61-second laps. Palou went on to lead 60 laps of the race, building his lead in the championship standings over David Malukas. Rosenqvist finished second, while veteran Will Power completed the podium in third.
