Scott Dixon is accustomed to strong season finishes in IndyCar. Third in the championship, 47 points behind Montoya, the New Zealander puts himself in a good position for the title by starting at the front of the Mid-Ohio race. There are 3 races remaining with a total of 211 points up for grabs.<\/p>\n

Dixon is clearly the man to beat. He was at the front during free practice sessions, he is a five-time winner at Mid-Ohio, and he secured victory last year starting from 22nd position. The Ganassi driver always performs well at the end of the season; he has never been lower than 3rd place in the final standings over the past 8 seasons.<\/p>\n

Will Power, S\u00e9bastien Bourdais, and Helio Castroneves, respectively 5th, 6th, and 4th in the championship, complete the first two rows. Simon Pagenaud is in a distant 15th place and Tristan Vautier is last.<\/p>\n

The leaders in retreat<\/b><\/p>\n

Juan Pablo Montoya is once again at a disadvantage. Leader throughout the season, the Colombian is once again facing mechanical issues. He is 10th on the starting grid. The surprise of the year, Graham Rahal, will need a bit of luck to maintain his second place in the overall standings. The American will start only 13th.<\/p>\n

7 winners in 8 races<\/b><\/p>\n

This year, no driver has claimed more than 2 victories. There are 9 different winners in the last 13 races, including 7 different winners on the 8 road circuits.<\/p>\n

Helio Castroneves is the only serious title contender who has not yet secured a victory this year. Charlie Kimball, Dixon’s teammate and winner of the 2013 edition, is very fast this weekend and could also vie for the win.<\/p>\n

A 15-year-old record<\/b><\/p>\n

The introduction of the new Chevrolet and Honda aerodynamic kits helped break 3 records; in St Petersburg, at the Indianapolis GP, and at Mid-Ohio with Scott Dixon’s pole position in 1:04.581. The previous record was 1:05.347.<\/p>\n

The race is broadcast this Sunday, August 2nd, starting at 7:55 PM on Canal + Sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
