Scott Dixon (No. 9 Chip Ganassi Racing PNC Bank Honda Turbo V6) won the Honda Indy Toronto by 5.2701 seconds over Simon Pagenaud (No. 22 Team Penske DXC Technology Chevrolet Turbo V6) on Sunday. In doing so, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver extended his Verizon IndyCar Series championship lead and added to his career legacy. It was Dixon's third victory of the 2018 season and extends his points advantage to 62 over Josef Newgarden (No. 1 Team Penske Hitachi Chevrolet Turbo V6). The triumph was also the 44th of Dixon's illustrious Indy car career, moving the 37-year-old within eight wins of tying Mario Andretti for second on the all-time list. A.J. Foyt tops the chart with 67 wins. "I think A.J. is pretty safe; he's a long ways ahead," said Dixon. "I think for us, we take it race by race. We're in the business of winning races. If we're not doing that, I won't have a job for too long. That's the focus for right now." Dixon, chasing a fifth series title that would leave him second to only Foyt's seven championships, led 49 of 85 laps on the 1.786-mile temporary street course at Exhibition Place. Canadian teammates Robert Wickens (No. 6 SPM Lucas Oil Honda Turbo V6) and James Hinchcliffe (No. 5 SPM Arrow Electronics Honda Turbo V6) had a good day, as the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports drivers finished third and fourth, respectively.

Truex finished 1.901-seconds ahead of Ryan Blaney (No. 12 Penske Racing Dex Imaging Ford) at the line.
