Kiwi Dixon matches Mario win total with Indy Toronto title
New Zealand's Scott Dixon matched Mario Andretti for second on the all-time IndyCar win list by capturing Sunday's Indy Toronto title for his 52nd career victory in the series.
The 41-year-old Kiwi racer trails only A.J. Foyt's record 67 triumphs in IndyCar history after taking his fourth Toronto victory, edging American pole sitter Colton Herta by 0.8106 of a second.
Dixon, a six-time IndyCar season points champion, extended his record to 18 consecutive campaigns with at least one race victory.
He claimed his first victory since May 2021 at Texas Motor Speedway. The span of 23 races was the second-longest win drought of his career.
Sweden's Felix Rosenqvist finished third.
Dixon also won twice in Toronto in 2013 and again in 2018.
The race -- 85 laps over an 11-turn, 1.786-mile temporary course over the streets of Exhibition Place -- made its return to the IndyCar schedule after being called off in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson of Sweden stretched his 2022 season points lead from 20 to 35, taking a 351-316 edge over Australia's Will Power with reigning champion Alex Palou of Spain third on 314 and Dixon and American Josef Newgarden on 307.
