Motorsport: Success for Dixon after drought

Scott Dixon has finally won a race after a nightmare season in the US Indy Car motor racing.

Dixon won the Watkins Glen International in New York. He finished nearly a second ahead of Tony Kanaan from Brazil. The race was held on a road course, rather than a speedway.

It is not only the New Zealander's first win of the season, but also his first podium finish of the year. He has one race left in the season.

Englishman Dan Wheldon has clinched the Indy Car Championship.
