Unfortunately, Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon was the only driver out of the 27 who experienced an ERS issue at Mid-Ohio on Sunday during the parade laps before the race began. Parked on the circuit with a stalled No. 9 Honda, Dixon had to be towed back to the paddock. His crew and Honda Racing Corporation US powertrain technician worked to diagnose the problem. Dixon rejoined the race on lap 22 but could only complete 40 laps before retiring in 27th place. This incident cost him a drop to fourth in the standings and a significant gap to teammate Alex Palou. Dixon described the power side of the hybrid system failing to start properly as a disappointing setback.
