Target Ganassi driver, Scott Dixon won the two IndyCar series' races held this past weekend on the streets of downtown Toronto.
Dixon won Race 1 of the Honda Indy Toronto by 1.7 seconds over Sebastien Bourdais following a lap 84 restart, faced a similar situation in Race 2 and won under caution to sweep the weekend doubleheader.
It was the third consecutive victory for the two-time series champion, who will celebrate his 33rd birthday July 22.
Dixon's last three-in-a-row stretch was in 2007 (Watkins Glen, Nashville, Mid-Ohio), and the last in the series was accomplished by Ryan Hunter-Reay (Milwaukee, Iowa, Toronto) en route to his 2012 series championship.
Dixon also earned his 32nd Indy car victory to overtake Dario Franchitti, Bourdais and Paul Tracy for seventh on the all-time winners list.
Helio Castroneves of Penske Racing finished second in front of Bourdais who earned his second consecutive podium finish (his first since 2007), Dario Franchitti and E.J. Viso.
