Dixon tops night IndyCar practice in Texas

In conditions that should mimic tomorrow night's race at Texas Motor Speedway, Scott Dixon lead the final practice session in what should be a precursor to tomorrow night – 100% throttle racing for 550 kilometers and may the best car win.

Drivers will have the availability of the Honda overtake assist 20 times during the Firestone 550K for 12 seconds each. There is a 10-second recovery period between pushes.
