The top three in the NTT IndyCar Series points standings screwed up and let Scott Dixon back into the mix last Sunday afternoon in Belle Isle. See, the Team Penske duo of Josef Newgarden and Simon Pagenaud to go along with Andretti Autosports’ Alexander Rossi had Dixon and everyone else pinned pretty far back.

Heading into that race, Newgarden had four top two finishes this season to go along with a top four in literally all but one race run in 2019. Pagenaud, had just swept the Month of May at Indy and six top 10 finishes in seven tries this season. Rossi, had three top two finishes, five top fives and six top 10’s himself this year.

On Sunday though – Pagenaud was involved in a first lap dust up and finished 17th. Newgarden and Rossi were a part of a three car crash that also collected James Hinchcliffe on Lap 32 leaving Newgarden with a 19th place result. Rossi, went from an almost certain podium to fifth.

Dixon meanwhile, won the race and made up 40 points on the lead. He went from 92 points down to 52 down. Yes, after the first Dual, Dixon was 92 points behind Newgarden.

That’s because he had a rough Month of May on the oval where he only finished 17th. That was a double points paying race. Pagenaud, Rossi and Newgarden finished 1-2-4 respectively in that race. Then, in the first race on Belle Isle, Dixon made a rare mistake and crashed while running third. He’d finish last in 22nd.

Newgarden, Rossi and Pagenaud finished 1-2-6 in that race.

The door was quickly closing on Dixon winning a second straight Indy Car title, something that he’s never done before. Now, it’s wide open. With that being said, will Saturday night’s DXC Technology 600 (8 p.m. ET/NBCSN/INDYCAR Radio Network) shake up the standings even more?

I think this race will be tightly contested between the main contenders.

Dixon, is the defending race winner at Texas and has three wins (2008, 2015, 2018) and four runner-ups (2003, 2006, 2011, 2011 -duels) in his career on the 1.5-mile track. He also has 12 top six finishes in his last 19 starts.

Pagenaud, won the last superspeedway race obviously at Indy and is trending towards winning under the lights this weekend. The Frenchman finished fourth in this race in 2016, third in 2017 and second in 2018. A win now in 2019?

Rossi, is one of the most exhilarating drivers to watch on superspeedways as he is coming off of a runner-up finish to Pagenaud in Indy and was third at Texas last year.

Plus, Newgarden hasn’t fared real well at Texas in the past. He’s never finished in the top five before in seven career Texas starts. He’s also finished in the top 10 just once – an eight place run in 2013. He’s had a DNF in three of his last four starts at Texas.

See where the door is open?

But, can the others capitalize?

While Dixon has fared well in the past at Texas, he did struggle on a superspeedway in Indy too and has a DNF in four of his last seven Texas starts as well. Rossi’s third place run last year was his only top 10 in three Texas starts too.

So, will we see another crazy night to shake up the standings?
