Six-time champion Dixon won despite picking up a penalty for causing a collision on the opening lap to take his third win of the 2023 season – and his third in the last four races. 

Fellow New Zealander Scott McLaughlin recovered from the gravel and a penalty for hitting Santino Ferrucci to finish second, with Team Penske teammate and champion Alex Palou completing the podium in third. 

There was chaos on the opening lap as multiple cars made contact – a theme of a crazy and at times shambolic final round which was punctuated by many caution periods. 

The high number of caution periods meant that the pace car even needed to stop for a top up of fuel with 28 laps remaining.
