Trust us, this was one of those IndyCar races where more than one driver walked away feeling like a winner.
Six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon was the actual winner of the 27-driver field, capturing his 54th career IndyCar triumph.
Meanwhile, Josef Newgarden’s championship hopes literally went up in the air when, in the same mishap that Dixon was involved in after several cars went four-wide, he made contact rolling into Turn 7 on the opening lap with the right front of Alex Palou, spun and wound up on top of Marcus Armstrong’s car and Dixon was also involved, meaning three Chip Ganassi Racing cars involved.Also caught up in the mayhem was Romain Grosjean.
There were two other drivers and the resulting storylines that also should not be denied in terms of notoriety and attention: “It was so fun driving my Honda today, getting the fuel mileage, cruising along and having the fantastic pace,” Dixon said. “It was pretty sketchy at the end, but we tried to put on a show for everyone.Graham Rahal may have smiled more on Saturday than he did the entire month of May at Indianapolis.“I thought all day we dominated. … We have nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not bummed, but I’m bummed. Even on one of those days where we do everything right, Lady Luck wasn’t quite on our side.
In a sense, Saturday’s runner-up showing was somewhat of a vindication for Rahal, who embarrassingly failed to qualify for this year’s Indianapolis 500 in late May. But when Stefan Wilson was injured in a crash and was unable to compete in the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, Rahal took Wilson’s place and finished 22nd for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing.
