Dixon Takes Record-Extending Win at Mid-Ohio After Rare Mistake by Palou. Scott Dixon combined masterful fuel saving and a rare mistake by teammate and NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship leader Alex Palou with five laps to go Sunday to win The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the All-New 2026 Passport. Dixon continued two remarkable series-record streaks with his 59th career victory, first win this season in the No. 9 Chip Ganassi Racing PNC Bank Honda and seventh career win at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course: He has won at least once in 21 consecutive seasons dating back to 2005 and has recorded a victory in 23 seasons during his illustrious career. “It was definitely a tough race,” Dixon said. “We had fantastic cars. But just so much fun to try and pull off what we did and do it with what we had was fantastic. “They were supposed to (remove downforce) from the front wing on the last stop. I just had to look at the corner, and the car was going to turn. I was just hoping the rear tires were going to hold on.” Six-time series champion Dixon crossed the finish line just .4201 of a second ahead of Palou’s No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Open AI Honda, the closest result this season in the series. Christian Lundgaard placed third in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. Watch the Race Highlights here. (Thank you to INDYCAR Media)
