WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Pole-sitter Alexander Rossi won the IndyCar Grand Prix at The Glen on Sunday, holding off Scott Dixon over the closing laps at Watkins Glen International.
The race for the IndyCar title tightened significantly with one race left in the season. Rossi, who won last year's Indianapolis 500 and just inked a contract extension with Andretti Autosport, notched his second career win by keeping Dixon, a four-time winner at The Glen, in his rearview mirror over the final 14 laps, winning for the second time in the series by just under a second.
