Scott Dixon breaks through at Indianapolis with Grand Prix win

INDIANAPOLIS -- Scott Dixon finally made his second trip to Victory Lane at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Twelve years after winning his only Indianapolis 500 on the Brickyard's historic 2.5-mile oval, the five-time series champion added a second title Saturday -- this one by a dominant 19.9469 seconds over Graham Rahal in the IndyCar Grand Prix.

Dixon finished runner-up in each of the last three races on the track's 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course. This time, second wouldn't do.

"It's so good to be standing here, racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway," Dixon said after pumping his fist in a mostly empty and silent renovated winner's circle.
