I wish Peacock had the side by side like it does on TV when it goes to commercials

How does Dixon go so much further than everyone all the time?!

Sato gets up high into the marbles again and this time makes contact with the wall. Second FCY.

Oh no Markus tried to leave with 3 tires. In a backup car he has had a rough weekend that wasn't his fault

The Sun has come out and it will be interesting to see how this affects race strategy.

Dixon and Grosjean are the only 2 who can make it to the end now after those stops. Looks like it is theirs to lose/win

Newgarden clips the wall at Turn 2 and pits. No FCY.

The late stoppers are not cutting in to Dixons lead. He had this.

Congrats to Dixie on his 55th win. How he and Ganassi get the strategy right is amazing.

If Dixie hadn't backed off late he would have lapped everyone. Pato barely got ahead pushing at the last stop and Dixie cruising a bit and then he just let Malukas by since Dave was willing to go around like Rossi couldn't.
Honda seems to be better at the partial throttle and roll in fuel economy. NBC did not make it easy late to keep up with who was where with their split screen and obsession with last lap speed on the pylon. |

Dixie did it again, as Josef Newgarden's oval clean sweep, evaporated as the Sun came finally came out at Gateway.
Not the result Penske wanted, having got the front row lock out, with Josef Newgarden taking the lead on the first lap and leading for 98 laps. Scotty Mac finished 4th but it doesn't really make up for it. Penske have been off the boil this year. Another good showing from Arrows McLaren but not enough to get that elusive win. |

Dixon! Well done! How does he do it?
Stingy beats Newgarden. Which is fair. |

I have no idea how Dixon does it, but other drivers admit they try the same things and can't make the numbers Scott does. Serious question, do they do post race inspections of race winners? Checking things like ride height, or tank capacity!?
