LEXINGTON, Ohio -- Alexander Rossi won Sunday at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for his second IndyCar victory of the season and fourth overall, starting from the pole and using a two-stop strategy to run away from the field.

Will Power was third, 14.7 seconds back. Josef Newgarden was fourth and points leader Scott Dixon fifth.
