Scott Dixon wins predictably chaotic Nashville GP.
Scott Dixon is the steadiest hand in racing. The second-winningest driver in IndyCar history, a record he tied a month ago and took outright today, was not running well in the first 40 laps of the 80-lap event, but he collected just a small bit of damage in a larger wreck as cars crashed ahead of and behind him multiple times throughout the race. All that left him in 12th with 50 to go, the first window to pit and make the end of the race on fuel.
This time, the race was red flagged to guarantee a two-lap shootout. Unfortunately for Dixon, that put polesitter and day's fastest driver Scott McLaughlin in second. McLaughlin held with Dixon throughout the restart, but he slid out slightly in the second-to-last corner and did not have the positioning to make a move under braking in the final turn. He got alongside Dixon to finish second by less than the length of the winning car, but Dixon took the win.
Behind the title contenders, the day's biggest drives came from Andretti teammates Alexander Rossi and Colton Herta. Both were involved in early crashes, but both came out with healthy cars and pushed through the field on restart after restart. Rossi came home fourth and Herta came home fifth, finishes that keep both in the top ten of the series standings in peak-and-valley seasons too inconsistent to turn race-winning speed into a championship.
