Scott Dixon won the historic first unified round of the IRL IndyCar Series under the lights at Homestead-Miami Speedway.The victory was Dixon's 12th since his Chip Ganassi Racing team left Champ Car for the Indy Racing League at the end of the 2002 season. His triumph came at the expense of Andretti Green Racing driver Kanaan, who was leading the race when the lapped HVM car of Ernesto Viso spun and collected him with just seven laps remaining.Oriol Servia (KV Racing) in 12th place was the highest finishing of the newcomers from Champ Car, scoring a solid if somewhat cautious finish five laps behind the leaders. Franck Perera finished 14th for Conquest, with Justin Wilson (Newman Haas Lanigan) 15th after early contact with KV driver Will Power, and Dale Coyne's Mario Moraes taking 16th.
