The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach took place Sunday, April 21, 2024 on the streets of Long Beach. Race winner Scott Dixon during the 49th annual race. Dixon was able to save his fuel and tires down the stretch, leading the final 23 laps on Sunday en route to winning the NTT IndyCar Series 49th Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
“It’s great to win early in the season, it’s great for momentum and hopefully it carries over to the rest of season,” Dixon said. Dixon opted to wait until Laps 25 and 50 to pit, and held off late charges from Josef Newgarden and Colton Herta to win his first race since last year’s Music City Grand Prix in Nashville, Tenn.
Newgarden, running second behind Dixon before getting bumped from behind by Huerta coming out of the hairpin in Turn 11 on Lap 77 and stalling out, crossed the line fourth. “We wanted to push it in the first two laps and get out to a healthy lead,” Power said. “We used our best tires in the Fast Six though so we knew it was going to be a struggle later in the race.”“That’s the bet that we made but we just didn’t have the tires at the end,” Power said. “We had the same strategy as Dixon so we’ll have to look at it again.
