LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) —New Zealander Scott Dixon now holds the IndyCar Series record for career wins after his dominant victory yesterday at Mid-Ohio.
Dixon won so easily he was practically posing for pictures in Victory Lane by the time the rest of the field hit the finish line at the sprawling 2.258-mile course. He took the checkered flag nearly 30 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Ryan Briscoe, the largest margin of victory in the series in a decade.
The way Dixon ran roughshod over the field, he may have stamped himself as the driver to beat. He heads to Sonoma in two weeks with a three-point lead over Briscoe and a 20-point edge over Franchitti.
