Top Storyline

IndyCar has implemented a “push-to-pass” system for this race. It gives a five-second delay to the overtake assist and can only be used for 100 total seconds, with 20 seconds per activation.

"

“After that five seconds, when the driver gets to full throttle or already is at full throttle, the overtake will come on. That’s to stop from using it as a push to defend,” said Trevor Knowles, INDYCAR’s director of engine development. “They’ll have to plan ahead.”

The best part about this is that they will not show the usage on television, making for an extremely intriguing and exciting broadcast

Prediction: Scott Dixon Wins Fourth Honda 200

The New Zealander has won three times at Mid-Ohio in the past five years. He’s absolutely dominant on the course and that will not change on Sunday.

Dixon has 301 points on the season, but just a single win. He direly needs to pick up another here at the Honda 200 or his season could be over.
