Episode #259: Dixon Five-O The Motorsport101 Podcast

Death, Taxes, Scott Dixon wins. Times 50. Repetitive? Maybe, but the man is a goddamn legend for a reason. The boys review both races for IndyCar's Gateway!

Race 1: THE REMATCH

Will Power on pole, Patricio O’Ward starts 2nd, here we go GREEN FLAG AND THE CAUTION COMES OUT (Rossi, Andretti, Pagenaud, Veach, Carpenter, Askew, Palou pileup)
Scott Dixon joins the 50 club: Two wins adrift of Mario Andretti (52)
Takuma Sato finishes a close 2nd - but not before a Pass of the Year candidate around the outside of O’Ward (finished 3rd)
Power fades to 17th, two laps down, after a late puncture; Newgarden stuck in 12th, pitted before 2nd caution for weather

What the fuck was this parade

nOt NoW sAtO!!! Late-race crash for pole sitter ends the race under yellow; Please don’t @ us with IndyCar needing the GWC rule
Newgarden takes 16th career win, moving ahead of Sneva, Zanardi, and Montoya - and level with Wheldon
O’Ward ties best career finish in 2nd, Power holds on for 3rd ahead of Rinus Veekay
Rinus Veekay finished 4th after starting 18th, but not before chopping down on Colton Herta and making him extra mad
