Scott Dixon Beats Teammate Alex Palou For Mid-Ohio IndyCar Win

And then there were three … IndyCar race winners in 2025.

Scott Dixon passed his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Alex Palou with five laps to go in the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio to become just the third race winner of the 2025 season.

Palou looked to be on the way to his seventh win of the season when he went wide onto the grass in Turn Nine and opened the door for Dixon to get by.

“A stupid mistaken, honestly, a mistake by my part, the car was amazing all weekend, the whole race,” Palou said in his post-race interview on Fox.

“Just lost it a little bit on entry and they kind of couldn’t really get power going on.”

Palou chased Dixon down in the closing laps, but couldn’t get by and came up less than a half-second short at the finish line.

“We still had to save fuel all the way to the end, so it was definitely very tight,” Dixon said.

“I didn’t see what happened, I saw that he went off in Turn Nine, so we got a little bit lucky with that.”
