. ScottDixon9 elated to win IndyCar race in Nashville with wounded car on old tires
Dixon was left disappointed after qualifying only 14, but in Sunday morning warm-up he proved fast on both the primary and alternate Firestones to head the table.
With the red flag waved for another shunt, when Josef Newgarden bounced Romain Grosjean into a wall, Dixon had to endure a 1.5-lap sprint to the checkered flag on old tires, holding off the fast and undamaged Penske-Chevrolet of polesitter Scott McLaughlin. He passed the checkered flag less than 0.2sec clear.
“Oh man, Nashville is so awesome! I was real worried about Scott [McLaughlin] because I knew he'd take a chance – he kind of has to with the standings at the moment – and he was super-fast on fresher tires, so I was a sitting duck. A lap or two more would've been really tough to do.”, was asked how much more time he needed to earn his third win of the season.
