Scott Dixon and the Target Chip Ganassi Racing Team have gone through uncharacteristic struggles this season.

Dixon, a two-time IndyCar Champion and the 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner, hasn't tasted victory since Mid-Ohio in August of last year, running his winless streak to 13 races.But the Kiwi's fortunes changed on Sunday at the Pocono 400 Fueled by Sunoco, as he gave the team and Honda a 1-2-3 finish, with teammates Charlie Kimball and Dario Franchitti taking second and third, respectively."Going into this morning, I was not thinking we could win," said Dixon, who won his 30th IndyCar race on Sunday. "The team definitely hasn't given up, and you've got to hand it to Honda as well. I think fuel mileage was the key today. And we still had speed up front without having to save all the time. I don't know what to say. It's the 100th win for Target as well, which is just fantastic."Kimball's second place finish matched his previous best in the IZOD IndyCar Series. To say the result was satisfying for the 28-year-old American would be an understatement."Both Thursday at the test and then yesterday, we really focused on our race car," said Kimball. "The Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing team, the whole Chip Ganassi Racing crew as evidenced by 1-2-3, was focusing on race day, knowing that's when it mattered. So throughout today, the guys made it better on each pit stop and the car just got quicker and quicker. A lot of credit to Honda, they gave us the fuel mileage and speed today."Perhaps the biggest surprise of the three podium finishers was Franchitti, who qualified a disappointing 18th and struggled with speed all weekend. But much like his teammates, he made ground as the race played out and into his favor."We went for a very aggressive setup with very low downforce," Franchitti said of the team's strategy. "When I got some kind of gap, I could run some fast laps."But the Honda today was so good on fuel mileage, and that really, really helped us. I could catch back up to Charlie (Kimball) in spots, but I couldn't do anything with him because of the aggressive setup we ran."Team Penske's Will Power was Team Penske's Will Power was the first Chevrolet in fourth, ahead of Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing's Josef Newgarden in fifth and Schmidt Hamilton Racing's Simon Pagenaud in sixth. In all, Honda-powered cars took six of the top seven spots to curb Chevy's recent domination of the series.Dixon's win was also a milestone for Ganassi Racing, as the team earned its 100th win, as well as Honda, as the manufacturer picked up its 200th open-wheel victory.A key component to Honda's overwhelming success was the improved fuel mileage the engine supplier offered over the Chevy-powered cars. Honda runners were typically able to go three-to-five laps longer during each stint, which propelled the teams to the top of the standings as the race went along.Nazareth native and pole-sitter Marco Andretti was one that fell victim to the inefficiency of the Chevy engines. Andretti, who led race-high 88 laps, ultimately finished 10th, running out of gas on the cool down lap."Oh man, I mean we knew early on about our fuel mileage, but not early enough," said Andretti. "I think we should have responded quicker, but it's so hard to be reserved right now. I'm so frustrated for RC Cola and everybody; we were just so dominant and I'm just absolutely gutted."Indy 500 winner and Fuzzy's Triple Crown contender Tony Kanaan also looked like a threat to win in the early stages of the race, leading on multiple occasions. But the Brazilian was done-in when he clipped his front wing on the back of Dixon's car while challenging for the lead on lap 107, eventually finishing a disappointing 13th.Points leader Helio Castroneves ran among the leaders for most of the day and settled for eighth, padding his points lead over Andretti Autosport's Ryan Hunter-Reay, who finished 20th after getting hammered from behind by Takuma Sato while the two were entering the pits.
