Palou wins seventh of season at IndyCar Farm to Finish 275
The pole-sitter and Indianapolis 500 champion collected his 18th career IndyCar triumph in 93 starts after 275 laps around the 0.894-mile (1.43km) Iowa Speedway oval.
"It has been an unbelievable day, unbelievable weekend but more than anything an incredible year for us," Palou said.
"I cannot really believe it, honestly, and winning here is super special. I struggled on short ovals for so long. Super happy. Another win. Seven wins in one year. It's insane."
It was only his second career oval triumph after winning at Indy in May.
The event completed a double-header weekend in Newton, Iowa, with race one going to Mexico's Pato O'Ward on Saturday.
New Zealand's Dixon finished second on Sunday followed by compatriot Marcus Armstrong, who matched his best career IndyCar finish, then American David Malukas and O'Ward.
It was Dixon's 14th top-five finish at Iowa without a victory.
"We weren't too sure how it was going to go," Dixon said. "Everybody did a great job to basically throw the kitchen sink at it."
Palou, with 515 season points, boosted his lead over O'Ward from 105 to 129 points with Dixon 173 adrift in third after 12 races as the Spaniard tries to capture a fourth crown in five campaigns.
American Josef Newgarden, Saturday's runner-up and is a six-time race winner at Iowa, finished 10th after twice pitting with the lead only to have a caution flag moments later send him to the back of the lead lap.
Palou grabbed the lead at the start but Newgarden overtook him and seized first place on lap 66.
Newgarden went into the pits on lap 130 for fuel but moments later Sweden's Marcus Ericsson crashed in turn four, allowing rivals to make pit stops under caution as Newgarden cycled back.
Palou returned to the track in the lead with Malukas second and O'Ward third at the restart with Newgarden 11th.
Fast-charging Newgarden clawed his way back, passing Malukas with 40 laps remaining and overtaking Palou five laps later to reclaim the lead.
Newgarden then pitted to refuel just as American Colton Herta crashed to bring out a caution flag with Palou pitting and staying in the lead and Newgarden fading to ninth.
Palou sped away on a restart with 11 laps remaining and held off Dixon to the end.
The next IndyCar race will be next Sunday at Toronto.

R Ashwin rips into Ben Stokes: 'Your frustration, not our problem!' — Defends Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar century push
Ben Stokes speaking with Ravindra Jadeja during fourth Test in Manchester. (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Drama and emotion collided in Manchester on Day 5 of the fourth Test as Ravichandran Ashwin came out strongly in support of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar for choosing to bat on — and complete their centuries — after England skipper Ben Stokes offered to call it a draw with an hour to go. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! With India well and truly having saved the game after being 0/2 in the second innings, Jadeja (89*) and Sundar (80*) stood firm. But when Stokes approached the umpires and offered a handshake to end the match, the Indian pair refused — and stood their ground, quite literally. Poll Do you agree with Ashwin's defense of Jadeja and Sundar's decision to bat on? Yes, they earned their runs. No, they should have walked off. This irked the England captain, who sarcastically questioned whether they wanted to score hundreds against part-time bowler Harry Brook . Jadeja responded with his bat, dispatching Brook for a six to bring up his century. Gautam Gambhir fiery press conference: Slams critics, big update on Jasprit Bumrah, Karun vs Sai Later, Ashwin — speaking on his YouTube channel — tore into the criticism directed at the Indian batters. "Have you heard the term double standards? They played your bowlers all day, batted you out, and suddenly when they're nearing hundreds, you want to walk off? Why should they?!" Ashwin fumed. "You ask, 'You want to make a hundred against Harry?' Not Brook, brother. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He has to make a hundred. Bring any bowler — they didn't object. It was your call to bring Brook, not ours!" he added, defending the pair's right to play on. Ashwin also laid bare what he believed was the motive behind the early handshake offer: "There were two reasons — one, you didn't want to tire your bowlers. Fine. Second, you were frustrated, and thought 'If I'm not happy, you shouldn't be either.' That's not how cricket works." Ben Stokes press conference: On handshake controversy, India fightback, his own fitness Ashwin argued that if he were captain, he would've played the full quota of overs. "These are Test runs. A century is earned, not gifted. Washington deserved it. Jadeja deserved it. Period." India and England eventually shook hands after both batters got their milestones, with the series poised 2-1, in the hosts' favour, heading into the Oval finale.

Fernandez cruises past Kalinskaya to win Washington Open title
Leylah Fernandez earned the biggest win of her career as she beat Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 6-2 in the Washington Open final on Sunday. After a brief rain delay in the nation's capital, Fernandez - who was just one game away from defeat in the semifinals - overcame the extreme humidity to capture her first WTA 500 title in her first final in over a year. The Canadian gained the upper hand early on, securing a break thanks to a Kalinskaya double fault, before breaking again with a sharp return winner. The Russian world number 48 appeared to struggle physically as Fernandez calmly served out the opening set in just under half an hour. Kalinskaya could not find her stride in the match, dropping serve twice in the second set, while the 22-year-old Fernandez remained in control, never looking back on her way to the title. Fernandez will look to carry her momentum into her home tournament, the Canadian Open in Montreal, where she faces Australia's Maya Joint in the first round. Kalinskaya, who will play against American Ann Li, remains in search of her maiden WTA title after another setback in a final.
