Scott Dixon (No. 9 Chip Ganassi Racing Target Chevrolet/Dallara) charged from last-to-first to win the Honda Indy 200 Verizon IndyCar Series race at Mid-Ohio on Sunday. The win was the 34th of Dixon's illustrious career and his fifth win in his last eight starts on the 2.258-mile, 13-turn road course. Dixon is now tied with Al Unser Jr. for sixth on the all-time Indy car win list. Dixon's win from the 22nd starting position is the second-most positions gained by an Indy car race winner on a road/street course. Max Papis won at Laguna Seca in 2001 from the 25th starting position. "Truthfully, I didn't think it was possible," said Dixon, who has won in 10 consecutive seasons. "Great pit stops by everybody on Team Target and the strategy was spot on once we got that (Lap 37) yellow. Long, hard-fought day but huge thanks to Chevy and obviously we got fantastic fuel mileage there, too." Dixon's car was out of fuel at the end of the race.

Sebastien Bourdais (No. 11 Mistic KVSH Racing Chevrolet) finished second. "That was tough. Hats off to Dixie and the Ganassi guys.  We didn't have anything for them. They were clearly the class of the field and deserve it. It is a one-two for Chevy so I couldn't be any happier with the Mistic boys. We will keep rolling!"

Josef Newgarden (No. 67 Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing Hartman Oil Honda/Dallara) had a frustrating day at Mid-Ohio, running up front until a bad pit stop ruined his day: "We didn't get it right. It's a shame. We had such a strong car and, man, we had a great strategy... It was a shame that it didn't work out, but I think everyone knew we were strong today and definitely had a shot at winning the thing. And that's all you can ask for, we've had a couple of those this year and we'll have a couple more before it's done."
