That race was AWESOME. Dixon is a fuel saving wizard. I was really hoping Herta could catch Dixon.
One of the other drivers said he was in the same boat as Dixon (I think they pitted on the same lap) so he had to hit the same fuel numbers as Dixon, but Dixon was still pulling away from him and this guy was amazed at what Dixon was doing.
Dixon is the most underrated driver in the world. He doesn't have to be the fastest guy over one lap because he knows so intimately how IndyCar races flow, how to save fuel and still go fast, how to preserve the tires, etc. Remember last year at the Indy road course, Graham was the fast guy that weekend and he was supposed to win the race. Dixon got hit on the first lap and ended up near the back of the pack. Off-strategy, he worked his way to the front, but had to save fuel on the last stint. Graham was able to use more power and caught up but Dixon hung on for the win. Just mind-blowing performances.

Dixon is the goat. Great debut by Pourchaire too.

That was a friggin' awesome race.
As much as I like Herta, it appeared Newgarden had some pace to catch Dixon and Herta did not. Of course, there was no guarantee Newgarden would catch Dixon, but, still, when Josef wants to turn it on, he is probably the fastest man on the track.
