INDYCAR SERIES

Camping World GP at The Glen - Watkins Glen International - Watkins Glen, NY

Watkins Glen kicks off three consecutive street/road course events for the IndyCar Series, with Toronto and Edmonton, Canada slated in the coming weeks.

With eight races completed in the 17-race schedule, Scott Dixon continues his quest towards a second straight series title. Dixon tied Sam Hornish Jr.'s record for most IndyCar victories with 19 by winning last Saturday at Richmond.

Dixon's 19th victory came in his 104th start - two less than Hornish, who made a total of 116 starts before moving over to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2008.

"Achievements like that are something you can look back at someday and treasure," Dixon said. "There will be many years, hopefully, in my career that I can try to build on that."

Dixon could make it No.20 at Watkins Glen, where he has won three of the first four races.

"I definitely would like one more so we can have that record outright," Dixon added.

One year ago, Ryan Hunter-Reay not only snapped Dixon's three-race winning streak at Watkins Glen, but also recorded his first career IndyCar victory.

Hunter-Reay, a former Champ Car standout, capitalized on a bizarre incident during a mid-race caution when Ryan Briscoe and Dixon bumped into each other and crashed. Briscoe and Dixon held the top-two positions for most of the 60-lap event. On the restart, Hunter-Reay passed Darren Manning for the lead and then ran in front for the remaining nine laps to capture his first win in his 16th start.

Dixon ended up finishing 11th, while Briscoe came in 12th.

Dario Franchitti won the most recent IndyCar street/road course race held in April at Long Beach, CA.

After finishing second at Richmond, Franchitti captured the lead in the championship standings with only a one-point advantage over Dixon.
