Scott Dixon was in the fight for a strong result before a mechanical issue knocked him out of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix.
After starting a season-best fourth, the 45-year-old New Zealander ran as high as second before running into problems just past halfway in the 100-lap race around the nine-turn, 1.645-mile temporary street circuit. On Lap 52, while running sixth, he went off into the runoff in Turn 7 and rejoined in 10th. The worst of it, however, came on Lap 69 when he came down pit lane and parked his #9 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. He finished 24th.
