IndyCar: Team Power Rankings after 2018 DXC Technology 600
By Asher Fair
How do the 10 full-time IndyCar teams stack up against one another now that nine of the 17 races on the 2018 schedule have been completed?
Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon was victorious for the second time in the last three IndyCar races by winning the DXC Technology 600, the ninth race on the 2018 schedule, at Texas Motor Speedway.
Dixon, who just delivered Chip Ganassi Racing their first victory of the season in the seventh race of the season, which was the first race of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit, and made them the fourth different team to win a race this season, made his team the third team to win multiple races this season.
Coming into the race on the high banks of the four-turn, 1.44-mile Texas Motor Speedway oval in Fort Worth, Texas, only two teams had won more than one more than one race this season. Those two teams were Team Penske and Andretti Autosport.
Team Penske won four of the first six races of the season, while two other teams, Dale Coyne Racing and Andretti Autosport, each won one of the other two.

Right after Chip Ganassi Racing joined them as the fourth team to win a race in the 2018 season when Dixon won the first race of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit, Andretti Autosport won their second race of the season to join Team Penske as the second team to win multiple races in the 2018 season.
Just like that, Chip Ganassi Racing have tied Andretti Autosport once again with their second victory of the season as both teams continue to try to reel in Team Penske, the only Chevrolet team that have won a race so far this season and the team that won four races in a five-race span but have now failed to win any of the last three races. With Dixon’s win, three of the four teams that have won a race so far this season have won multiple races so far this season.
