Any aspirations of winning the Grand Prix of Portland for Scott Dixon ended with a tough crash just moments after taking the green flag.
After starting ninth, the 44-year-old New Zealander made quick moves to push his No. 9 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda further up the grid. Once through the first sector, though, he was pressed by the No. 27 Andretti Global Honda of Kyle Kirkwood, who pulled a move to the inside of Dixon.
