Dixon captures career mark at Mid-Ohio

LEXINGTON (AP) — Scott Dixon didn’t start racing IndyCars to set records.

They keep falling anyway.

Dixon became IndyCar’s career leader in victories with a commanding performance in the Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio on Sunday. The win was the 20th of Dixon’s career, breaking a tie with former series star Sam Hornish Jr.

Not that Dixon was ready to celebrate. He knows his record might not stand for long considering the company he keeps.

“To keep that going I’m definitely going to have to keep racing for a lot more years,” Dixon said. “But if I can get it to 25, 30, 35 that would be pretty cool.”

The affable New Zealander appears to be well on his way.
