Conclusion
Scott Dixon, who still leads the IndyCar road and street course championship standings by a larger margin over Alexander Rossi in second place than he leads Rossi in second in the overall championship standings, did not win the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course despite the fact that he entered the race as a five-time winner of it.
Dixon finished the race in fifth place, and he finished behind four of the other five drivers who are in the top six in the road and street course standings. Rossi, who is Dixon’s chief competitor for the road and street course championship, won the race, but he did not do enough to pass him for the lead in either the formulated IndyCar Driver Road and Street Course Power Rankings or the non-formulated IndyCar Driver Road and Street Course Power Rankings.

With two road or street course races, of which both are road course races, remaining on the 2018 IndyCar schedule, the battle between Dixon and Rossi will certainly be one to watch not only for the leads of both of these sets of rankings and for the road and street course championship but for the overall IndyCar championship.
It will be interesting to see if drivers such as Josef Newgarden, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Robert Wickens and Will Power will be able to do enough to contend for leads of both of these sets of rankings, the road and street course championship and the overall IndyCar championship as well. After all, three of the four finished ahead of Dixon at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, which is arguably his best track.
