Alex Palou has won six races and Kyle Kirkwood three. Palou's points lead is almost two full races of max points.
From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
We're in the back half of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood are the only drivers to take checkered flags.
Who gets a much-needed podium finish? Marcus Ericsson. Of all the drivers in the field sorely in need of a pick-me-up, the fact that Ericsson sits 21st in points just a single top-10 is one of the year's biggest headscratchers. And yet, he heads to a track where he's finished in the top 6 in 4 of his last 5 starts, and where he started and finished 5th a year ago. He's finished on the podium here before (2021, runner-up), and this is a track where Andretti Global has shown speed in years past.
What is something no one sees coming? Amazingly, we finally get our third winner of the year in Colton Herta. He has only done that in two of his last 10 pole starts. It will be his 10th career victory and Andretti Global's fourth of the year, its most since 2018.
Pato O'Ward edged Alex Palou at the finish line, swapping their starting positions. Scott McLaughlin completed the podium after starting 7th.

'This clown': Conor Daly has harsh words for Santino Ferrucci after IndyCar crash
Conor Daly believes Santino Ferrucci went way out of his way to push Daly off track Sunday during the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio. IndyCar officials agree. The two were battling for position on Lap 43 when their wheels touched, and Ferrucci forced Daly far off the track while going into the grass himself. IndyCar officials ordered Ferrucci to give up 3 race positions. He finished 16th and Daly 19th. Post-race, Daly posted on social media: "This clown literally drove himself off track trying to make sure he wrecked me 😂 @SantinoFerrucci brilliant as always" Shocking result: Scott Dixon wins after Alex Palou's mistake

New Zealand's Dixon wins seventh IndyCar Mid-Ohio title
New Zealand's Scott Dixon won the Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio to stretch his streak of consecutive seasons with a victory to 21 (TODD WARSHAW) New Zealand's Scott Dixon overtook Spanish teammate Alex Palou for the lead with six laps remaining and won Sunday's Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, his record seventh career victory at the track. Dixon, who turns 45 on July 22, captured a race for his 21st consecutive IndyCar season by edging his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate over 90 laps on a 13-turn, 2.258-mile permanent road course in Lexington, Ohio. Advertisement Dixon saved fuel throughout the race, a trademark move, and made only two pit stops to secure his 59th career IndyCar triumph. "It was definitely a tough race," Dixon said. "Just so much fun to try and pull off what we did and do with what we had. It was fantastic." Dixon, who trails only the record 67 all-time wins by A.J. Foyt in IndyCar history, was trailing season points leader Palou before the Spaniard blundered on the ninth turn of lap 84, sliding out wide left and getting onto the grass. While Palou slowed, Dixon roared ahead and hung on for the triumph, nursing fuel all the way to the finish line. Advertisement "I saw he went off in turn nine. We got a little bit lucky with that," Dixon said. "I knew it was going to be tough. We still had to save fuel all the way to the end so it was definitely way tight." Dixon was battling handling issues as well. "I just had to look at the corner and the car was going to turn," Dixon said. "I was just hoping the rear tires were going to hold on." Palou, the 2023 Mid-Ohio winner who started on the pole and led most of the race, settled for second with Denmark's Christian Lundgaard third. "Just a stupid mistake, a mistake by my part," Palou said. "The car was amazing all weekend, all race. Everybody did an amazing job on pit stops and strategy. We were running really good. Just lost it a little bit on entry and then really couldn't get power going on. Advertisement "Nobody to blame but me. Just got a bit wide on entry and lost it completely. It sucks. It hurts a lot. It's still a good day but it hurts to lose it like that." There was some consolation for the Indianapolis 500 winner. After 10 of 17 races, Palou -- chasing his fourth season crown in five seasons -- has 430 points to lead American Kyle Kirkwood by 113 with Mexico's Pato O'Ward third, 125 down, and Dixon fourth, 148 adrift. Palou has six wins this season and Kirkwood three. Dixon's prior Mid-Ohio titles came in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2019. Palou grabbed the lead at the start with Lundgaard quickly settling into second. They stayed at the front through the pits stops with Dixon moving to third thanks to the fuel strategy. Advertisement Palou came to the pits from the lead with 19 laps remaining for a quick fuel splash and returned to the track two seconds ahead of Dixon, setting the stage for the final drama. The season continues with two oval races next weekend at Iowa Speedway. js/bb
