Scott Dixon (9) is accelerating out of the Tour 5, Sunday June 22, 2025, at the Grand Prix of Indycar Xpel in Elkhart Lake’s Road America near Lake Elkhart, Wis. Scott Dixon extended a remarkable sequence when he won his first victory of the Indycar season at the Honda Indy 200 in Mid-Ohio on Sunday in Lexington, Ohio.
The New Zealander, who will be 45 years later this month, has now won a race in the Indycar series every season since 2005, a 21-year-old sequence. He marked the 59th victory of his illustrious career.
Dixon led his Honda n ° 9 to Chip Ganassi Racing to Victory Lane after his teammate and leader of the Alex Palou series made a crucial error in the section.
Palou had a slight advance with five laps to do, but ran largely while his car n ° 10 reached Tour 9. The Spaniard slowed down in the dirt and dixon exceeded him, heading the rest of the path.
“It was definitely a difficult race,” said Dixon thereafter. “We had fantastic cars. But so fun to try to remove what we did and do it with what we had was fantastic.”
Palou in the running for his seventh victory of the season, but was satisfied with his second finalist, only 0.4201 seconds behind Dixon.
“Just a stupid error, honestly. An error on my part,” said Palou. “The car was incredible all weekend, any race. I just lost it a little on the (angle) entrance and a little could not really make power work.
“No one to blame but I am just a little wide at the entrance and has lost it completely.”
The first five were Christian Lundgaard of Denmark, Colton Herta and Pato O’Ward, who was aimed at going back to Mid-Ohio.
Palou led a huge 75 of the 90 rpm, while Dixon led 11. The victory will be a welcome show for Dixon, which entered the week for the fourth row of the points race and obtained the checkered flag for the last time at the Grand Prix de Detroit in 2024 13 months ago.
