Scott Dixon wins Grand Prix of Long Beach (The Associated Press)
Dixon passed Helio Castroneves during a mid-race pit stop and stayed out front over the final 47 laps to win the Grand Prix of Long Beach for the first time. Dixon qualified third for this year’s race, his best starting position at Long Beach. Once the race started, he quickly passed series leader Juan Pablo Montoya for second and went to the lead when Castroneves nearly collided with another car in the pits on lap 33. ”He is always really fun to watch, for sure.” So have the Team Penske drivers.
