Scott Dixon: 9
Another runner-up finish for Dixon, who h♒as won six times at this track.

Anot꧙her impressive drive by the rookie, who is the real deal.

For the second week in a row, Herta started on pole, do🐽minated the first half of the race, only to see it fly away with a late-race mistake.
Josef Newgarden: 5
