Honda Indy 200 at Mid Ohio 2014

Scott Dixon, the Mid-Ohio master,
scored the first 2014 win for Ganassi Racing with an amazing last-to-first comeback. 
This was his 5th win at Mid-Ohio, and the 10th for Ganassi.
 

 
  Dixon became the 10th different winner this season for the 7th different team.  Wow!
 
 A first lap wreck saw Marco Andretti and Tony Kanaan out of the race, and jumbled things up a bit.   Sebastien Bourdais and Josef Newgarden dominated the race until the halfway point, when Scott Dixon took the lead. 

Scott Dixon is called the master at saving fuel for a reason.  He coasted across the finish line in first after gaining 9 seconds on Sebastien Bourdais while saving fuel.
 



The Top Ten:

1. Scott Dixon - His 34th career win tying Al Unser, Jr. for 6th all time!

2. Sebastien Bourdais - 2nd podium in a row after starting on pole.

3. James Hinchcliffe - First podium this year...finally!

4. Carlos Munoz - Highest finishing rookie

5. Graham Rahal - his 3rd Top 7 in the last 4 races

6. Will Power - Regained the season points lead over Helio

7. Charlie Kimball - Last year's Mid Ohio winner

8. Ryan Briscoe - Second highest finishing Ganassi

9. Simon Pagenaud - An uncompetitive day but still just one point out of third in the Championship.

10. Ryan Hunter-Reay - Made a great comeback after a pit speed violation and spinning early in the race.
