Mid-Ohio race winner Scott Dixon joins the show to chat about his ability to capitalize on Alex Palou’s late race mistake, which parked him in victory lane for the 59th time in his IndyCar career. Scott explains he was struggling with tire wear at different points in the race and wasn’t sure how the two main strategies would play out before he saw a dust cloud from Palou running off the track. From there, he deployed his hybrid boost and push to pass to gain a major run on the 10-car, which ended up being the winning move of the race. Scott also talks about celebrating with his son Kit at the track for the first time, his takeaways from the recent Iowa test and his expectations for the rest of the 2025 season.
