Scott Dixon last night continued his path to a second Indycar Championship with another win in the Bombardier Learjet 550k. Dixon passed Marco Andretti with six laps to go to take his third victory of the year. Helio Castroneves finished second, Ryan Briscoe, Dan Wheldon and Tony Kannan rounded out the top 5."We're riding a wave at the moment," Dixon said. "We're just trying to keep it going. From the middle part of last year until now, we've won a serious amount of races.
"Over the winter, these guys spent a lot of time making these cars super fast. You've got to put this down to the many people back at the shop who have worked on these cars non-stop."
"At the end, he left it wide open. I don't know what he was doing. Marco's car was good on the high line, so maybe he couldn't sit on the bottom. If it was me, I wouldn't have given up that much room."
Unfortunately for Marco Andretti he wouldn't keep second place as he and Ryan Hunter-Reay tangled with six laps to go:
Marco was not too happy about the crash. "There are some guys you can run close with and some guys you can't," Andretti said of Hunter-Reay. "He clearly hit the white line, and that is that. We ran well today, but to me, that doesn't matter. We need to bring home results. It's very disappointing."
Meanwhile Scott Dixon extends his points lead over Helio Castroneves to 35.
