How They Got Here: Title Contenders’ Path to Big Showdown

First, the facts as the bullet train known as 2022 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season reaches its destination this weekend in Northern California. Dixon finished fifth, which was consistent but marked a fourth consecutive race without a podium to start the season. Power was the top finisher among the championship five, placing third and regaining the championship lead. Dixon rallied from his Indy 500 disappointment to earn his first podium finish of the season by placing third. Ericsson finished fifth to expand his points lead over Power, who finished a quiet 15th after starting 16th. Dixon finished fifth and Ericsson eighth, as the Ganassi duo held station in their respective spots in the standings after a solid points day. But this race may have been the cruelest of the season for McLaughlin. Dixon finished fourth to pile up more points as his summer surge continued, and Ericsson hung on to the series lead by eight points after finishing sixth. Power couldn’t touch McLaughlin on a late restart and settled for second, his eighth podium finish of the season, while padding his lead over Newgarden to 20 points.
