Indycar 2017 at Road America

Indycar Kohler Grand Prix at Road America

 

Scott Dixon became the 8th different winner in ten races this Indycar season as he won for the first time at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.  It was Scott Dixon's 41st win of his career which leaves him in fourth on the Indycar All Time win list, just a single win behind Michael Andretti.

The four Penske drivers dominated the weekend and wound up in second through fifth place but it was Dixon's pass of Josef Newgarden on lap 31 that made the difference.
