Scott Dixon Grabs Unlikely Win at Mid-Ohio after Alex Palou’s Miscue

Scott Dixon took advantage of a rare mistake by teammate and NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship leader Alex Palou to take the lead with five laps to go Sunday and win The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the All-New 2026 Passport.

Dixon continued two remarkable series-record streaks with his 59th career victory and first win this season in the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda: He has won at least once in 21 consecutive seasons dating back to 2025 and has recorded a victory in 23 seasons during his illustrious career.

Six-time series champion Dixon crossed the finish line just .4201 of a second ahead of Palou’s No. 10 Open AI Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, the closest finish this season in the series. Christian Lundgaard finished third in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet.

NTT P1 Award winner Palou appeared to be headed to his seventh victory of the season when he ran wide in Turn 9 and slowed, with Dixon squeezing past for a lead he would not surrender.
