For Alexander Rossi, Simon Pagenaud and certainly Scott Dixon, the approach to Sunday’s Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca is straightforward:.
Dixon has no chance to capture a sixth series championship without winning Sunday’s 90-lap race and even that requires Newgarden to finish no better than 23rd in a 24-car field.
Dixon: “(Double points) definitely makes it more exciting, but our 2015 championship definitely showed (the standings) can be flipped pretty heavily at the final race.”
Alexander Rossi: “Yeah, for sure, winning is what we need to do, but there are obviously a lot of other considerations with how Josef finishes.”
