Not too sure what happened to Ericsson but he came into pit in his car and left with a tricycle.

That's Colton Herta's race run, as his car tried to turn itself into a mobile bonfire.

Congrats to Dixon, in what was a rather dull race. Great result for Mclaughlin. Up until then it wasn't really going too well for Team Penske.

Definitely a dull race in terms of battle at the front. And to an extent further back through the field with few exceptions. Having only one lane through 1-2 and 3-4 means it takes a full lap to get a pass done. Just felt very F1 mid-race processional without much reason to think sitting would change. Part of that is Dixon and his crew know the track and what to do so well. 19th year with a win for Dixie, breaks his tie at 18 with AJ Last edited by broadrun96; 2 May 2021 at 01:04. |

It was an odd day for them all around, Power couldn't manage better than 18 in practice, Newgarden bumped Bourdais around in traffic and Pagenaud just seemed to be running around midpack without being fast

I feel bad to complain since those guys are risking their lives but that was a terrible race, like really, really bad. Amazing result by Scott Mclaughlin imo.

I wouldn't say it was a great race but wouldn't call it terrible. In his post race interview Dixon said that his pace was largely due to being in clean air. There was great racing behind even though nobody could get close to Dixon. Wish that the aerodynamic experts could find a way to make being out front less of an advantage. Sorry to see Bourdais wrecked. Newgarden said that he was afraid to move up into the slippery groove to avoid him. I wish that the surface issues could be addressed but assume that the money isn't there to do it. Perhaps time for the series to abandon Texas and run another weekend at Gateway. |

Grid for the XPEL 375.
The grid is based on entrant points and gives Dixon an automatic Pole. Can he make it back to back wins and a record 6th at TMS? |

Looks like Bourdais got tagged by Fittipaldi, which tarted the whole thing off. That's Bourdais out for the second race in a row, through no fault of his own.

This is a repeat of yesrerday's race; a single groove, high speed procession.
