LEXINGTON, Ohio - Scott Dixon became IndyCar's leader in career victories on Sunday, pulling away from the field to capture the Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.
The victory was Dixon's fourth of the season and 20th of his IndyCar career, breaking a tie with former series star Sam Hornish Jr.
Dixon entered the record books with ease, taking the lead from Justin Wilson halfway through the race and then pouring it on to win by nearly 30 seconds over polesitter Ryan Briscoe.
The victory also pushed the defending points champion back atop the standings with four races left in the season.
Dario Franchitti was third, followed by Ryan Hunter-Reay and Hideki Mutoh.
