IndyCar rookie Devlin DeFrancesco of Toronto was 18th.
Dalton Kellett of nearby Stouffville, Ont., completed nine laps before mechanical failure ended his race.
Both Canadians drove in the Honda Indy for the first time as the event was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kellett's car started smoking early in the race, forcing him to pit. After the A.J. Foyt Enterprises crew worked at Kellett's car it was announced the local was out of the race.
Alexander Rossi was pushed into a barricade by Rosenqvist in the 45th lap, wrecking his car. Although it led to a yellow flag — with most drivers taking the opportunity to pit — Rosenqvist was not penalized for the contact.
Dixon was leading at the time of Rossi's accident and he led the way into the pit. Rinus
