Dixon closes gap on all-time greats

Scott Dixon didn’t spend much time sharing the spot with Michael Andretti for the third-most wins in Indy car history.

A week after a matching victory, Dixon led the last 119 laps in the IndyCar Series race at Texas on Saturday night to move ahead of Andretti with career win No 43.

“It’s really cool. Obviously I have massive respect for a lot of these drivers,” Dixon said. “But when you look at those names, Aj Foyt, Mario Andretti, Michael Andretti, the Unsers ... to me it still seems very strange that Dixon is on that list too.”

Dixon now only trails Foyt’s 67 wins and Andretti’s 52.
