Scott Dixon hit yet another fuel number to take the victory at the end of a very long Sunday (June 2) on the streets of Detroit.
With this win, Dixon takes his second triumph of the season and moves himself into the NTT IndyCar Series points lead. Marcus Ericsson followed Dixon to the flag in a rebound from his first-lap exit at the Indianapolis 500.
Marcus Armstrong followed the top two to the flag for the first podium finish of his IndyCar career.
“The team called it perfectly,” Dixon said after the race. “Perfectly! We were on the right strategy … Honda did a superb job as always, a lot of fun driving my Honda out there. And we won, man. How cool is that?!
“It’s just always the variables: trying to stay out of trouble, trying to keep the car on the track, we had rain, it was all over the shop out there.”
With the win, Dixon closes in on A. J. Foyt‘s all-time win record in addition to his newfound points lead. Dixon wasn’t too pressed when asked if his focus was now on chasing down title number seven.
“For sure,” he said. “I think it always is. It really hard, but you’ve got to keep chasing. It’s a team effort, no one single person does it by their self.”
