Second and third not good enough source: irl.racing-live.com - ORS / CAPSIS International Scott Dixon and Dan Wheldon are currently second and third in the IndyCar Series championship standings though the Ganassi duo is not quite satisfied with recent performances. "Yeah, it's been pretty good," said Dixon of Ganassi Racing's 2006 season. "I think once again we've been a little disappointed. I think there's two or three other races that the team should have won; (either) Dan or myself which is pretty good to be frustrated about. Being second in the points (and I've) had some good finishes." Besides his win at Watkins Glen and a pair of second place finishes including the most recent race at Texas, Dixon has come home 5th, 6th, and 9th, in what would otherwise be considered a fantastic season. "We really need to capitalize on these. Penske definitely has been and you can see Helio has a bit of a jump again now. We need to work a bit harder," said Dixon, who spent the past two years either struggling or crashing with Toyota engines. "For myself it's been a great year back. It's very nice to race at the proper end of the field, race with other great teams." Castroneves currently has a 22 point lead over Dixon and a 37 point advantage over Wheldon, the defending IndyCar Series champion who has a win among four top five finishes in 2006. "Four top fives doesn't really mean anything when the person that's leading the championship is beating you - you've got to beat that person," said Wheldon in reference to Texas winner Castroneves.
