The New Zealand driver Scott Dixon has finished 12th in the second race of the Indycars double-header in Wisconsin.

Dixon was unable to keep up the impressive former he'd shown so far in the season with three straight wins.

Dixon, who won the opening race in Wisconsin yesterday, started sixth on the grid day, but a couple of slow pit stops cost him any chance of victory.

However there was success for his Chip Gannassi team with teammate Felix Rosenqvist of Sweden winning from Patricio O'Ward of Mexico.

It was Rosenqvist's his first IndyCar Series victory.

Dixon was hoping to become the first IndyCar driver in 14 years to open the season with four consecutive victories.

He still holds a 54-point lead over Colton Herta in the championship standings after four races.
