Scott Dixon used a dominating performance to win the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio presented by Westfield Insurance and earned his record 20th IndyCar Series victory.
Dixon, competing in his 109th IndyCar Series race (all with Chip Ganassi’s team), overtook Sam Hornish Jr. for the series record. Dixon also tied teammate Dario Franchitti for 19th on the all-time career list (sanctioning by AAA, USAC, CART, Champ Car World Series and the Indy Racing League) with 21 (he picked up one victory at Nazareth in CART). A.J. Foyt is the all-time Indy car victory leader with 67.
Dixon, with his fourth win of the season, also moved back into the series championship points lead with four races remaining - the next Aug. 23 at Infineon Raceway—by three over Briscoe and 20 over Franchitti. It’s the 12th time in the 13 races that the points lead has changed hands.
Franchitti finished third for his ninth top 5 in the No. 10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing car and Ryan Hunter-Reay gave A.J. Foyt Racing its best finish in more than a year with fourth after starting seventh in the No. 14 ABC Supply Co. car.
Also on Aug. 9, James Davison led all 40 laps and won the Mid-Ohio 100 for the second consecutive year. It was the first victory for Vision Racing five weeks after Davison gave the team its first pole at Watkins Glen. James Hinchcliffe, driving the No. 7 Hinchtown/Sam Schmidt Motorsports car, finished 4.0420 seconds back and Firestone Indy Lights points leader J.R. Hildebrand finished where he started (third) in the No. 26 ARPRO car for AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing.
