Toronto results, points: Scott Dixon ended a 23-race NTT IndyCar Series winless streak (the second longest in his career) Sunday, winning the Honda Indy Toronto by 0.8106 seconds over Colton Herta.
With his first victory in the No. 9 Dallara-Honda since May 1, 2021 at Texas Motor Speedway, Dixon tied Mario Andretti for second on the IndyCar win list with his 52nd career victory.
It was the fourth victory on the Toronto street course for Dixon, and the six-time series champion also extended his record streak of 18 consecutive seasons with at least one victory.
In season bests, Felix Rosenqvist finished third, and Graham Rahal was fourth. Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson finished fifth to increase his championship lead by 15 points over Will Power (15th Sunday).
Defending series champion Alex Palou finished sixth to rebound from a tumultuous week and a starting position of 22nd.
