IndyCar Team Road/Street Power Rankings after 2018 Honda Indy Toronto
By Asher Fair
Eight of the 11 road or street course races on the 2018 IndyCar schedule are in the books. How do the sport’s teams stack up against one another in these races?
Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon earned his second road or street course victory of the 2018 IndyCar season in the season’s eighth road or street course race and the season’s fifth and final street course race.
Dixon’s second victory in a road or street course race this season is also Chip Ganassi Racing’s second victory in a road or street course race this season, as Dixon’s teammate, Ed Jones, has not won a road or street course race yet in 2018.
Dixon also won the first race of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit on the streets of Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan, so his most recent victory is his second street course victory of the season as well as Chip Ganassi Racing’s second street course victory of the season. Neither of Chip Ganassi Racing’s drivers have been able to win a road course race so far this year.
