Dixon's second fuel mileage win in a row was far less stressful than the first, leaving the six-time champion with a mathematical shot at beating teammate Alex Palou for a seventh title over the next two races.
Whether or not Scott Dixon is the bet American open wheel driver ever, he is certainly the best at turning a winning strategy into an actual win.
That took Dixon out of position to be the only car on his initial strategy and gave other leaders a chance to effectively take a free stop, but it gave Dixon the lead with equal tires and fuel on the next restart. Then Dixon pulled away while early leaders Josef Newgarden and Pato O'Ward battled behind, leading O'Ward and Newgarden to pivot again back to a multi-stop strategy.
Incredibly, Dixon did not actually seem to be saving fuel particularly aggressively. Pato O'Ward would finish second, actually losing time Dixon after his final stop. On NBC's post-race broadcast, he said that "when they were telling me on the radio the 9 car was trying to make it to the end, [I knew he was] going to make it to the end.
