Scott Dixon wins; Simon Pagenaud nears IndyCar title
- September 06, 2016
Dixon led for the majority of all the practice sessions, and he had the fastest qualifying lap time, so it came as no surprise today when Dixon cruised to victory 18 seconds ahead of the next auto. 5 and the No. 18 ended-up running out of fuel, so it was a great strategy with Roger (Penske) and the Hitachi auto. "We didn't have the smoothest of starts", Newgarden said. (more...)
