Scott McLaughlin Photo: Photosport McLaughlin, racing for Team Penske, was contesting his first IndyCar oval race and worked his way through the field to pressure Dixon over the closing stages. Dixon led for a race-record 206 of 212 laps for his first victory of the season, driving the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to victory by .2646 of a second over McLaughlin. It was six-time IndyCar series champion Dixon's 51st IndyCar victory, leaving him just one off tying Mario Andretti for No. 2 on the all-time win list which is topped by AJ Foyt on 67 wins. Dixon, who started second, held a comfortable lead of three to five seconds at various points during the race, which went the distance despite rain in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
