Chip Ganassi Racing’s Dixon became the all-time lap leader for the biggest open-wheel race in America, surpassing Al Unser Sr’s record of 644 laps led on lap 133 of the 2022 Indy 500. Dixon started the day third on the list and passed Ralph dePalma’s mark of 612 just before half distance.
Polesitter Dixon looked in control of the race, leading 95 laps overall, but finished 21st due to his pitlane speeding penalty earned in his final scheduled pitstop while leading with 25 laps remaining.
