Dixon needed just one tank of gas to complete
the final 34 laps of the 85-lap race. He finished in
1:42:03.1416, just ahead of Herta (1:42:04.1214).
Racing in the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, Dixon
earned his first victory of the season and the 57th of his
career. He won at the same track in 2015.
Alex Palou, the defending IndyCar Series champion, came in third
in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. Josef Newgarden and
Marcus Ericsson rounded out the top five. Newgarden led for 19
laps and was the biggest thorn in Dixon's side until Herta ran
into him, causing his No. 2 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet to
anti-stall.
The series continues next Sunday with the Children's of Alabama
Indy Grand Prix.
